Thanks for the kind comments. We really hope you find our Adblock Extension useful–our goal was of the purest intention. We knew Adblock would come, and we hate annoying ad-filled sites too. We basically created an extension for ourselves, and offered it to others to use as they wish. Our blog/company is not your average marketing company. Even on our blog we try to do more then write about e-marketing, we have released fixes for iGoogle left nav issue, and introduced a custom Google toolbar button to use Bing when you feel like it. We hope that you take the chance to explore our site a bit more, or even subscribe to our blog posts. We even welcome article ideas. Thanks again for your kind comments and we hope to see you around

I don’t know who you are, what god you pray to, or what you do for a living, but you have made my night. A few minutes ago I searched for an ad-blocking extension on chrome after deciding to give the new(-ish) browser a shot, and stumbled onto this page. Maybe I have spent too much time in front of my computer, maybe I should be working harder on my schoolwork, maybe it’s the approaching holiday season, or maybe I just need more sleep, but I seriously almost burst into tears reading these comments.

There was the initial brief, borderline-hostile feedback from Joshua, followed by a somewhat terse but still polite, explanatory, and prompt response from Mark8t Staff. I read on, expecting this display of relative online civility to devolve into short bursts of insults quickly. Instead I scrolled down to find a series of shockingly courteous and well-formatted comments, with both parties making constructive suggestions and actually ending with a seemingly intractable yet cordial and kind disagreement.

Seriously, I cannot believe that the most encouraging exchange I have seen in some time — a digital conversation that gives me hope for humanity, arose between an ad-blocking user criticizing an e-marketing blog’s release of ad-blocking software, and the e-marketing blog representative who was defending their ad-blocking extension and even encouraging the user to modify it to more effectively hide advertisements.

Thank you for making my day/night, and I wish you the best.

..but, in my country (Norway) an AD is called “annonse”,
so I need to put in some localized strings to the filter.

Are there any description to the syntax used in the adblock.js file?
..or is it possible to move the filter strings into a file of its own that could be read by the js?
