How do I block malicious Sites such as facebook or Bild completely?
I´ve added them to my hosts, but since Adblock Plus is updated I always get error messages that the signatures are wong.
and there is no way to restore my filters.
Thanks,
Block Site completely
Re: Block Site completely
Your error might be unrelated to your attempt to block certain sites using the HOSTS file; anyway, this file does not block all subdomains, and it may be easier to block subdomains within ABP, using custom filters like this:
Also, uBlock Origin does support strict blocking, with custom filters like ||example.com^$document (I think a separate $popup filter would still be needed to automatically close popups, and otherwise you'll just see a popup with the uBO blocked-site notification).
Code: Select all
||example.com^
||example.com^$popup
*$domain=example.com
example.com##body
- The first one blocks content from example.com or its subdomains loaded on any page.
- The second tells ABP to close any popups to example.com or its subdomains.
- The third blocks all content loaded on any page on example.com or its subdomains.
- The fourth hides the visible content in any page on example.com or its subdomains.
Also, uBlock Origin does support strict blocking, with custom filters like ||example.com^$document (I think a separate $popup filter would still be needed to automatically close popups, and otherwise you'll just see a popup with the uBO blocked-site notification).
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
