Description Todd 2011-04-06 02:04:00 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

When I try to use the webkit part with the EasyPrivacy+EasyList adblock list enabled, none of the web pages I tried to vist would load.  They work just fine when using KHTML, and when only using EasyList, so that would suggest it is a problem with EasyPrivacy and the webkit kpart.  

Here is an example of the error message I get when I try to visit kde.org:

Well this issue and many more related to it have been addressed in kwebkitpart v1.1. Unfortunately the official kwebkitpart package in openSUSE is the very old v0.9. I guess that is probably because I neither had the time or the energy to release a packaged version of the new branch. I only made an announcement.[1]

Anyhow, until such time that openSUSE moves to v1.1, which is the recommeneded version for KDE v4.6 and up, this problem will persist.

I am using version 1.1, not 0.9.  openSUSE 11.4 ships with 1.1.  So apparently this bug is not fixed in 1.1.

Hmm... Last I checked the package version for openSUSE was 0.9-3 or something like that. Perhaps that was openSUSE 11.3. 

Anyhow, I just checked and unfortunately not all of the adblock related fixes made it into kwebkitpart v1.1. I have gone ahead backported the remaining bug fix from master to the 1.1 branch now. Perhaps I will get out a 1.1.1 version with only the backported fix out soon.

Git commit 19b385dda72885cd092d6ec122e3fa077c9c24fa by Dawit Alemayehu.
Committed on 08/04/2011 at 19:29.
Pushed by adawit into branch '1.1'.

Cherry picked all the ad filter related fixes from the master branch.

NOTE: that the adblock functionality still has known limitations in
kwebkitpart due to the fact that the source of a network resource request is
unknown. Currently there is no way to distinguish a request that originated as
a result of a <script> tag from one that came about as a result of a <style>
tag.
