Site Filter

Site filter allows you to block sites based on a black list and white list. Sites matching the black list but not matching the white list will be automatically blocked and closed. The popup killer must be enabled for the site filter to take effect. 

Filter Definition

Both black list and white list are filters. A filter consists of one ore more entries. Each entry can be a part of or a whole web address. A site matches a filter when its address contains one of filter entries as a substring. For example, 

filter entry
www.badsite.com/dir1
matching pages
http://www.badsite.com/dir1/page1.htm
http://www.badsite.com/dir1/dir2/page2.htm

$ProductName only blocks pages matching the black list but not matching the white list. You can use the white list to unblock pages from desired web directory. For example,

black list entry: www.badsite.com
white list entry: www.badsite.com/nice_dir
pages that will be blocked:
http://www.badsite.com/index.htm
http://www.badsite.com/dir1/ad.htm
pages that will not be blocked:
http://www.badsite.com/nice_dir/index.htm
http://www.badsite.com/nice_dir/dirx/hello.htm

Please note that site matching the white list will never be treated as popup ads.
