Dynamic filtering: precedence

Back to "Dynamic-filtering"

---

First: Trusted site directives override both dynamic filtering and static filtering. Trusted site directives appear in the Trusted sites pane in the dashboard, and they are used to completely disable filtering. The big blue button in the popup UI is used to easily add current site/page to the Trusted sites list.

Dynamic allow/block rules override static filtering rules.

• Use allow to force requests to be allowed regardless of whether they would normally be blocked by static filtering.
  • Useful to fix sites broken by false positives in EasyList, EasyPrivacy (or any other static filter lists).
• Use block to force requests to be blocked regardless of whether they would normally be allowed by static filtering.
  • Useful to block with 100% certainty, to bypass exception filters with which you may disagree in EasyList, EasyPrivacy (or any other static filter lists).

There is a precedence logic for dynamic filtering cells:

Local rules override global rules.

• Local setting for example.com override global setting for example.com.

The party-specific cells override the type-specific cells.

• 3rd-party override images
• example.com override images

The more specific the party, the higher the precedence.

• example.com overrides 3rd-party scripts
• www.example.com overrides example.com

Party-specific and type-specific cells override non specific party cells:

• 3rd-party frames overrides 3rd-party

All cells override the all cells. The local all cell overrides the global all cell.

The UI is designed in such way that the precedence logic should quickly become obvious with usage.
