Filter out advertisments from greek sites using adblock plus

I’ve decided to start a filter for adblock plus to filter out advertisements from Greek sites.

You can find more information on subscribing to the filter on the page: Greek adblock plus filter.

I started the list a long time ago with some personal filter for sites I visit the most. In order to enrich the list I searched and found a list with the supposedly “top 50” greek sites (regarding traffic), so I visited them and started adding filters to reduce the ads on them.

I warn you though, the filters are a bit strict…and I don’t like flash ads…I really don’t. I hope you like the list.

Please contact me, by email or by commenting on Greek adblock plus filter page to add your own custom filters to the list.

    I would like to add some to the adblockplus filter.

    Is there any way to set it up, to be updatable from subscribers, without bothering you?

    Thanks,
    I will add these entries, but next time please provide the url(s) you’ve seen the adds, for verification purposes.

    I would like the list to be strictly moderated with handpicked entries. There’s a chance I will add a web interface sometime in the near future for submissions. But all entries in the list will eventually have to be handpicked.

    Some more to add to the list. Your idea for the entries to be hand picked is good! Hope that more users will add urls to the list.

    Added!

    I have also started adding entries based on div id and class in order to remove txt ads and frames with many ads inside.

    keep posting more links to add 🙂
