Custom filter list deletion?
We've changed the HTTPS URL where the filter list was hosted and updating the registry entry doesn't delete the old non-existent list in Edge.

Re: Custom filter list deletion?
From what I can see in the source code, I'd recommend setting up a redirect by adding the following line to the old filter list:
This should cause the extension to replace the existing one with the new one.
If the filter list is no longer online, Adblock Plus should continue to retry the download. Therefore the same could be achieved by us adding the old and new URL to https://gitlab.com/eyeo/filterlists/sub ... /redirects .
Only if the filter list is listed at https://gitlab.com/eyeo/filterlists/sub ... aster/gone, will the filter list be considered "gone" and the extension instructed to replace the filter list with a local copy in order to stop trying to download it (see extension source code).
Code: Select all
