adblock plus 2 privacy

It's a good start, but you need to do a bit more doc reading & testing :)

I tried a few of your entries:

{ +block{test http://privoxy.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/privoxy-useraction-database-may-2009/\} }

# verify block patterns with http://config.privoxy.org/show-url-info

/adjs.php?/
# http://foo.example.com/adjs.php?size=100x200
# http://foo.example.com/bar/adjs.php?size=100x200
# compare to:
/(?:.*/)?adjs\.php\?

/ad.js
# http://foo.example.com/ad.js
# http://foo.example.com/bar/ad.js
# compare to:
/(?:.*/)?ad\.(asp|html?|js|php)

/ad-html*
# http://foo.example.com/ad-html
# http://foo.example.com/bar/ad-html
# compare to:
/(?:.*/)?ad-html\.html?

/adcode.*
# http://foo.example.com/adcode.htm
# http://foo.example.com/bar/adcode.htm
# http://foo.example.com/adcode/how-to-block.htm

/ad/serve.php*
# http://foo.example.com/ad/serve.php
# http://foo.example.com/123/ad/serve.php
# http://foo.example.com/ad/serverphp/how-to.htm
# compare to
/(?:.*/)?ad/serve\.php

bwp.*
# http://bwp.com/foo.htm
# http://bwp.example.com/foo.htm
# compare to:
bwp.

*size=1x1&*
# http://foo.example.com/serve.php?sponsor=1223&size=1x1&pos=top
# http://foo.example.com/serve.php?sponsor=1223&pos=top&size=1x1
# compare to
/.*size=1x1

Like I said - it's a good start. But I'd suggest that you take a look at
http://config.privoxy.org/user-manual/actions-file.html#AF-PATTERNS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expressions

& typing URLs into http://p.p/show-url-info is ok, but please consider creating a list amenable to automated testing of your patterns. See

it better than nothing. the point is make the adblock plus subscriptions list compatible with privoxy.

one problem :

Request blocked by Privoxy: No nasty stuff for you.
See why this block applies or go to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2789313&group_id=11118&atid=211118 anyway.

What exactly seems to be the problem? Without more details it's hard to
tell whether the page in question should or should not be blocked.

I'm guessing the problem is that sourceforge.net is the last line in the block list.

Some simple changes would make it a lot better. For example
/ad.js
blocks "http://foo.example.com/ad.js" but not "http://foo.example.com/bar/ad.js" in Privoxy. If you change the filter to
/(.*/)?ad\.js
it will block both of the above example URLs.
