Getting QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR when trying to add a custom rule

Code: Select all

Uncaught Error: QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR: DOM Exception 22 - options.html:140
saveOptions - options.html:140
addTypedFilter - options.html:173
(anonymous function) - options.html:449
onclick - options.html:450

I have just 18 rules

Should move them all to a custom filter instead ?
Do adblock even support local filters (as in "c:\bla\filter.txt") ?

There are no limits (as far as I am aware) to the number of custom filters that the extension can handle. What version of Adblock Plus do you use? Does chrome://adblockplus/content/errors.html display anything?

[Noggie]

I'm using Version: 1.1.3

"chrome://adblockplus/content/errors.html"
Doesn't work. (net::ERR_INVALID_URL)

There's a limit when using localstorage (5 mb).
Using database sql have no file size limit

[ttjoseph]

Yes, this is most likely a localStorage limitation, which has become problematic in this - hopefully rare - because all locally-cached filter lists count toward this limit, and deselected ones are not deleted. We don't currently use the unlimitedStorage manifest.json permission, which would solve this (but I don't know if enabling it result in a potentially confusing 'new permissions' dialog box in Chrome - Wladimir, any thoughts?).

Here is a workaround: Tools -> Extensions -> Developer mode, then under the ABPC entry, click "background.html". Then in the window that comes up, click Resources, Local Storage, then the entry under that that just appeared, then delete all the local storage entries that start with "http". Sorry this workaround is so convoluted...

[Michael]

Sorry, I mistakenly posted information pertaining to the Firefox version of Adblock Plus - I had forgotten the forum that I was in and how different the Chrome extension is.

[Noggie]

hm.. I get this error when updating (Update Now button) the filter list too

Code: Select all

filterupdate.js:152
Uncaught Error: QUOTA_EXCEEDED_ERR: DOM Exception 22
FilterListFetcher.xhr.onreadystatechange

Any chance you will go over to the other limitless storage system ?

[Noggie]

See "unlimitedStorage" in http://code.google.com/chrome/extension ... ermissions

[ttjoseph]

OK, I went ahead and added this permission. It should show up shortly in the development version.

Did you not read the page ?

From the site (http://code.google.com/chrome/extension ... ermissions):
"unlimitedStorage": "Note: This permission applies only to Web SQL Database and application cache (see issue 58985)."

So you will need to switch to sql db to make it work.

[ttjoseph]

Guess I missed that part, sorry. I suppose we'll need it at some point though, or hopefully the Chrome folks will allow it to apply to localStorage at some point in the future.

Also you might not want to use multiple overlapping lists, or copies thereof (like both the built-in and manually-added Fanboy lists).
