Adblocker

A fast, pure-JavaScript content-blocking library made by Cliqz.

This library is the building block technology used to power Cliqz and Ghostery's Adblocking. Being a pure JavaScript library, it can be used for various purposes such as:

• Building a content-blocking extension (see this example for a minimal content-blocking webextension)
• Building tooling around popular block-lists such as EasyList
• Converting between various formats of filters (EasyList, Safari Block Lists, etc.)
• Detecting duplicates in lists
• Detecting dead domains
• etc.

The library provides the low-level implementation to fetch, parse and match filters; which makes it possible to manipulate the lists at a high level.
