It was originally intended for removing banner ads only, but at some point -it has been extended to remove popups and webbugs. It can't be used as a general purpose filtering proxy -because it was never intended this way. - -For example you can't just block an arbitrary object, you can only hint the ad detector in its decision making. -The main advantage BFilter has over the similar tools is its heuristic ad detection algorithm. The traditional -blocklist-based approach is also implemented, but it's mostly used for dealing with false positives. Unlike -other tools that require constant updates of their blocklists, BFilter manages to remove over 90% of ads -even with an empty blocklist! - -The javascript generated ads are not a problem for BFilter, as it has a javascript engine to combat them. -BFilter is expected work with any browser that supports proxies (nearly any browser does), and can forward -requests to another HTTP proxy.</longdescription> - <upstream> - <remote-id type="sourceforge">bfilter</remote-id> - </upstream> -</pkgmetadata> |
