Try this ABP page for filter syntax.

@davidhedlund The dynamic filtering rules are handled differently from the "static net filtering" (which is what the ABP filter syntax specifies).

Check out the "My Rules" tab in uBlock's preferences to see the textual representation of the dynamic filtering rules.

[davidhedlund]

@chrisaljoudi It is possible to write

||google-analytics.com^$important,third-party
but not
||google-analytics.com^$important,third-party
--gstatic.com^$important,third-party

gstatic might be a third-party of google-analytics.com. say that "--" above means "noop" which in that example will let gstatic.com to use static net filtering instead of being blocked.

[davidhedlund]

@chrisaljoudi The reason why I want to write rule-like filters is because I want people to have the possibility to subscribe to them. That's not possible with rules, right?

[chrisaljoudi]

@davidhedlund right, it's currently not possible to import/subscribe to external dynamic filtering rules.

In your example, though, I'm a bit confused.

This filter:

||google-analytics.com^$important,third-party

does not affect gstatic.com. Why would you need to "noop" gstatic.com then?

[davidhedlund]

@chrisaljoudi That was just a (bad) example. Please refer to the screenshot in the top of this post. Would it hurt to add "noop" to the extended syntax?

As I see it everything should be in "My filters" (static and dynamic filters). Its simpler that way and there's not really any reason to keep My Rules if you add the requested syntax above.

[chrisaljoudi]

@davidhedlund It's not that it would hurt, I just don't understand what it means.

Let's say we have the following (I used the -- syntax you used as an example):

||google.com^$script
--googleAnalyticsScript.js$script
*AnalyticsScript.js$script

Would google.com/googleAnalyticsScript.js be blocked or not (in the final result)?

[chrisaljoudi]

@davidhedlund Let me see if I can communicate this better:

noop makes sense in dynamic filtering because dynamic filtering occurs as a step before static net filtering. So it just means: "okay, let it through to the second step [which is static net filtering]".

noop doesn't make sense in the context of static net filtering because there are no steps after that.

In other words, by the end of the static net filtering step, one must have either an allow or a block, not a noop.

[davidhedlund]

@chrisaljoudi I suggest that you add noop syntax that can be used to write filter. Just make uBlock to start by only execute dynamic filters (like noop) and then start over again to only execute static filters.

I hope I'm clear enough even if my native language is Swedish. Do you understand me?

[chrisaljoudi]

@davidhedlund I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't.

How does a noop filter in static net filtering (as I understand it from your description) differ from an exception filter?
