On: Disqus Ads Are No Longer Free to Disable

[overcast]

What you just sent me is an extra plugin for Ad Block Plus. No where on that site are the words uBlock or Origin even mentioned.

Edit: I see below what you're referring to. However I'd rather have a separate plugin where I can easily selectively turn it on(Hacker News).

Not a plugin (does uBlock / Adblock even have a concept of plugins?), but rather a simple blocklist.

Just checked, and this list doesn't block comments on hacker news or reddit, just like it doesn't block the wall on facebook or posts on a forum. It would be pointless, because the whole point of those [social] sites is the comments.

I prefer this way because uBlock Origin is already installed and is quite lightweight, so the incremental performance hit is less. I can see your point about UI convenience too. Everyone has their own priorities!

I mostly use it for blocking comments on news and video sites [in my experience typically 99% noise]. Whitelists can be added for individual sites, in the same way that any blocking rule can be whitelisted with custom filter rules.

Here's how to get this (or really any other list) added to uBlock Origin.

* Navigate to the uBlock Dashboard > 3rd Party Filters > Custom.

* Add the line: http://mute.bradconte.com/mute.txt

* Click `Parse` and the `Update`.

Because ad block plus is the de facto standard and ublock Origin is compatible with adblock plus subscriptions.
