Description Volkan 2013-03-10 13:28:59 UTC
It will be very good to add an adblock like plugin to block ads when using "Show all page" feature.

Reproducible: Always

I'm on KDE 4.9.5.

What exactly do you mean by the "show all page" feature?

Akregator is using Konqueror for rendering html, so all konqueror features apply to akregator as well. Including adblocking, which is configured at Settings > Configure Konqueror > Web Browsing > Adblock Filters > Automatic Filter Tab

When you select the option "show all page" it fetches all page from the target url. In this page i was seeing some ads on the sides of a website. I am using kubuntu, but do not have Konqueror.

I can't seem to find that option. Maybe it's an localization issue, I'm using the american english version of KDE 4.9.5 (kubuntu 12.10).

The only thing I can find that comes close to this description is the 'Combined View' option under the 'View' Menubar entry.

I can get rid of ads being displayed in the preview area using the method provided in comment #1 (e.g. using konquerors adblock feature). Maybe you have to create a custom filter set.
Of course you have to install konqueror first.

Hmm. Ok thanks then. I can close the request.
