Description

Epiphany ships an optional Adblock plugin to block ads in web pages. However the default black list may not be efficient enough because it is designed for English-speaking websites. The idea is then to backport black lists designed for the Firefox extension Adblock Plus to the Epiphany plugin. There is at least one people who managed to do this with a Perl script:

Note that this should certainly need to be transcribed into a Shell or Python script. We can then feed this script with black lists in a text format. They can be found thanks to the following page:
