qutebrowser VS python-adblock

I don'r know if this counts but there is also https://www.qutebrowser.org/ which uses qt webkit IIUC

I searched this issue and saw there were already open issues on github, and it is an upstream issue with QtWebEngine.

You can add [aria-haspopup] to your hints.selectors setting (from a config.py, see the configuration docs) to get the same effect.

There is a small how-to here: Switching to Qt 6 by default · Issue #7202 · qutebrowser/qutebrowser

There is a Qutebrowser user script for 1password: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/misc/userscripts/qute-1pass. Disclaimer: I am the original author (it’s been refactored a lot by mkonig since I originally wrote it). My original version is here https://github.com/tomoakley/dotfiles/blob/master/qutebrowser/userscripts/1password

Glad to hear! You'd either add it to the userscripts folder in the repo, or add a link to the README about it and host it elsewhere.

It seems to work fine with Qt 6, so I guess this is just some missing feature on Qt 5. Maybe something changed on Wikipedia's side.

Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList)

Ah, yup, I can reproduce with that, thanks! I opened an issue here: Loading adblock cache takes 2-4s with huge cache file · Issue #62 · ArniDagur/python-adblock

From adblock on PyPI (the Python package index):

FYI Qutebrowser is has a pretty good ad-blocker since 2.0

> Since version 2.0.0, if the Python adblock library is available, it will be used to integrate Brave’s Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking, based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList). If that library is unavailable or on older versions of qutebrowser, a simpler built-in ad blocker is used instead. It takes /etc/hosts-like lists and thus is only able to block entire hosts.

You just need optional dependancy https://pypi.org/project/adblock/

How would I make adblock "available" on Windows? I found the python scripts here, but I have no clue where qutebrowser would be looking for these?

There are various solutions to this - see point 21 in the FAQ

Purely a maintenance thing - faster windows releases and not having to take care of 32-bit support for the adblock library.

You will need the (optional) adblock Python library. Once you have that installed, with the default content.blocking.method = auto setting, it'll be enabled automatically. You can also set the setting to adblock explicitly, then you'll get a warning if the library wasn't found.
