I would like to prevent certain sites from being able to load anything. I would like to be able to specify those sites by either using a domain name (with wildcard) or by looking for keywords inside of the page.

@TheSweetLily

Can't you just use dynamic filtering for that?
Or alternatively make your own filters?

@timuckun

I tried the dynamic filters using the example "* domain.name * block" and this didn't work.

I then tried a filter where I put the domain name in the filer. This blocked a lot of stuff on the page but for didn't prevent things in the <script> tag from running.

What I would like is to have a way to specify that the page should not be loaded at all based either on the domain name or the presence of certain words on the page.

@gorhill

a way to specify that the page should not be loaded at all based either on [...] the presence of certain words on the page

This makes no sense.

@timuckun

Is there a way to prevent ANY content from being loaded on the page? No HTML, no Javascript, No images. Nothing whatsoever.

@gorhill

As per ABP filtering semantic, no. I posted I don't remember where a link to the rationale from ABP as to why document filter option would no longer block the whole page -- it used to.

@gorhill

@timuckun What browser are you using?

@timuckun

chrome on mac

@gorhill

You could install uMatrix, it does block whole sites: any blacklisted hostname will be completely prevented from loading in the browser:

@WalterWW

@timuckun: You could also add the domain name to your hosts file and completely block it system wide:

Thanks for the tips!
