Blocking malicious sites with Adblock Plus
· 2008-07-03 09:48 by Wladimir Palant

" ...So now Adblock Plus users can add a subscription with slightly over 40000 filters that will block access to the known malicious domains. It is the first time I tried Adblock Plus with so many filters, and the good news is: the slowdown during browsing is in the area of single-digit millisecond numbers, that’s not noticeable. The bad news: loading/saving the list still takes a while (noticeable as browser startup/shutdown delay). In Firefox 2 this took around 20 seconds which is why I recommend against using this subscription there. The big surprise was Firefox 3, there the delay is only 3-4 seconds. Congratulations to everybody who helped optimizing JavaScript, the results are really incredible!"

Using this filter subscription will also require 20 MB more memory and up to 25 MB download bandwidth per month. I'll continue working on performance optimizations, but if you can live with the performance cost and want to try it already: click here to subscribe to the list in Adblock Plus (listed on the usual list of filter subscriptions as well of course).

WARNING: Do NOT subscribe to this list with Firefox 2! It will only be sufficiently fast in Firefox 3, and even then you have to accept 3-4 seconds delay at browser startup and shutdown. It won’t cause noticeable delays during browsing however.

@ rick752:
" This filter is maintained by the folks over at www.malwaredomains.com - all we're doing is converting it to a format ABP(AdblockPlus) can understand. Thanks to Wladimir for providing the script which downloads it and coverts it. Also big thanks for helping working out the bugs."
