[How-To] AdBlock for Sailfish-Browser

Ahoi,

today I'm sharing how you can get rid of ads and (some) malware/tracking while using our beloved standard browser. I assume you all know AdBlock, if not search it on https://duckduckgo.com/?q=adblock

  1. Go on https://addons.mozilla.org and search adblock
  2. Choose AdBlock Plus, then long press the install button and choose open in new tab
  3. swipe to accept and install
  4. Go to chrome://adblockplus/content/ui/subscriptionSelection.xul and choose your subscription
  5. Go to about:addons, tap AdBlock Plus->Preferences->Filter Rules and uncheck the allowance of addon-promoted ads
  6. Profit

By the way check out chrome://adblockplus/content/ui/ there you'll find all addon specific dialogues like "firstRun.html". However you can't simply tap on the link but have to type the filename like this: chrome://adblockplus/content/ui/firstRun.html

cheers
