Re: Content filtering in Otter
Reply #5 –
@Somebody, most likely there won't be built-in support to change interpreter, it's not something that would be useful enough to make it pluggable by default. But if someone would like to experiment then it should be easy to replace it and simply recompile.
It's doable to import rules from Opera to format used by AdBlock, probably the same applies to other formats (at least partially).
Named filter sets could be done (it's part of AdBlock infrastructure), but such fine-tuning would probably make more sense for site specific preferences (which sets should be applied), for quick toggling for tab it should be enough to simply disable them all. Context menu to select applied rules per tab could be reconsidered later, it's not that hard to do. ;-)
It's important to not over complicate it, we could use the same widget to select list of active sets and their priorities, global and per site.
This is how Error Console looks right now (when docked, by default, could be detached to behave more like that from classic Opera):

I would like to add an option to let it show results only from active tab, then it would be easier to check which content blocking rules got applied to displayed page.
