Whitelist sites from Ad Blocking source list

solidsnake

Hello

I'm using the built in ad and tracker blocker. There is a site in all lists that I need to be whitelisted for using on some sites.

I know it is possible to disable ad-blockers on those sites, but I don't need that.

Is there a way to whitelist just few lines from the ad-block lists?

@solidsnake Doesn't "Add Exception" in Settings, Privacy, Exceptions do what you want?

@Pesala No. That excepts whole site from ad blocking.

I need to except all sites from one (or few) blocked servers.

edit:
I guess I can add my own local list with the exception filters, like the Vivaldi's own exception list.

Anyone knows what's the reading list priority?

@solidsnake This can be done by creating your own "override" list and adding it.
See:
https://adblockplus.org/filter-cheatsheet#exceptions
https://help.eyeo.com/adblockplus/how-to-write-filters#whitelist

Example:

! Title: My Adblock Filters
!! EXCEPTIONS
@@||todomain.org^$domain=fromdomain.org

Create a plain text file containing the adblock code, in the directory of your choice. Under "Documents/Vivaldi" or whatever.
Go to Settings > Privacy > Tracker and Ad blocker
Click Manage Sources and click the + for Add list in "Ad blocking sources".
Click the Browse/Import from file button and browse to and select the file you created.
It should create a new entry in the list called "My Adblock Filters", might need to scroll down to see it.

@Pathduck Thank you, I just thought of that. That is like Vivaldi's own exception list is done.
Do you know how Vivaldi treats lists internally?
Does it read all selected lists and merge them?

I have no idea how it handles conflicting filters, apart from I guess exceptions will override other filters.
Whether to add it in tracker-lists or ad-lists is up to you depending on your site settings.
