Fr : Le seul plugin que j'ai trouvé pour désactiver un CSS qui pose des problème d'affichage, un gif animé de fond d'écran qui ralentit trop l'affichage sur un vieux PC, un script java particulier ... sans désactiver d'autres fichiers de même nature du site. Il permet de faire sur un navigateur actuel la même chose que les premières versions d'adblock plus il y a plus de 10 ans. Modifier la liste des filtres est facile, même si le bouton qui permet d'en rajouter un manque de visibilité (texte en anglais non encadré). Mon seul regrêt par rapport aux vieux Adblock plus est qu'on ne peut pas voir de liste des fichiers appelés depuis la page consultée. Il chercher à la main dans le code source de la page pour trouver les fichier à filtrer. En: The only plugin I found to deactivate a CSS causing display problems, a background animated gif causing a slow display on an old PC, a particular java script... without deactivating other files of the same nature from the website. It allows you to do the same thing on a current browser as the first versions of Adblock plus more than 10 years ago. Modifying the list of filters is easy, even if the button which allows you to add them lacks visibility (unframed English text). My only complaint compared to the old Adblock plus is that you cannot see a list of files called from the viewed page. You have to watch the source code of the page to find the files to filter.

Is Rule AdBlocker Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Rule AdBlocker requires very minimum permissions.
