Advanced Settings

If you are not familiar with advanced settings of uBlock Origin, please read this first.

Differences

In Nano Adblocker, most of the advanced settings are the same as uBlock Origin, however, the default value of some settings are different:

  • autoUpdateAssetFetchPeriod defaults to 180 1
  • autoUpdatePeriod defaults to 4
  • extensionUpdateForceReload defaults to true
  • manualUpdateAssetFetchPeriod defaults to 1 1
  • popupPanelLockedSections defaults to 39 (0b100111)

1 When fetching assets, you should either get them all done in one burst or wait a significant delay between them. It is expensive to keep sockets open and it is even more expensive to create new ones. In fact, holding sockets open is how Slowloris attacks are carried out.

Beside the differences above, Nano Adblocker also offers a few more functionalities in the advanced settings page. These advanced functionalities can change or break at any time, make sure to back up your settings if you want to play around with them. Please open an issue when they break for you, or otherwise behave in a way that contradicts the description below. We cannot fix issues that we are not aware of, so please take the time to report them!

autoCommentFilterTemplate option

Available since 1.0.0.113

Following placeholders are also supported:

  • {{nanoHref}}: Full URL of the webpage

Force recompile filters button

Available since 1.0.0.22

When clicked, Nano Adblocker will discard compiled filters and internal selfies then restart, during which all filters will be recompiled. Any unsaved changes will be discarded during the restart and all opened extension pages will be closed.

nanoIgnoreThirdPartyWhitelist switch

Available since 1.0.0.22

Default: false

When set to true, Nano Adblocker will discard exception and badfilter rules from all filter lists except My filters when compiling filters in the future. Similarly, setting this switch to false or turning off advanced mode will not cause discarded filters to be immediately restored.

Negated domains are sometimes transformed into exception rules, and they will not be affected for now. This can change in the future.

Setting this switch to true will definitely break many websites and you are to fix them by yourself.

nanoMakeThirdPartyFiltersPrivileged switch

Available since 1.0.0.79

Default: false

When set to true, Nano Adblocker will treat all third party filter lists as privileged when compiling filters in the future. Similarly, setting this switch to false or turning off advanced mode will not cause privileged filters to be immediately removed.

Privileged filter lists have access to privileged resources. Name of privileged resources always start with nanop-. Nano Adblocker's own filters (Nano filters) are always privileged.

nanoMakeUserFiltersPrivileged switch

Available since 1.0.0.22

Default: false

When set to true, Nano Adblocker will treat My filters as privileged when compiling filters in the future. Similarly, setting this switch to false or turning off advanced mode will not cause privileged filters to be immediately removed.

Privileged filter lists have access to privileged resources. Name of privileged resources always start with nanop-. Nano Adblocker's own filters (Nano filters) are always privileged.
