AdBlock Filter Compiler

This repository contains a Python script designed to compile and optimize various blocklists, host files, and domain lists into a single, efficient AdBlock filter list. The script ensures that the resulting list is free of duplicates and redundant rules, providing a streamlined and effective ad-blocking experience.

Key Features

• Integration: Combines multiple blocklists, host files, and domain lists into one cohesive AdBlock filter.
• Optimization: Identifies and removes duplicate entries and redundant rules to enhance filter efficiency.
• Customization: Allows users to specify custom blocklist sources through a config.json file.
• Header Generation: Automatically generates a header with detailed metadata, including the date, time, domain count, and statistics on duplicates and redundant rules removed.

Default Filter Lists

By default, the script integrates the following filter lists:

• hagezi/dns-blocklists (pro.txt)
• quidsup/notrack-blocklists (trackers.hosts)
• hBlock/blocklist (hosts_adblock.txt)

You can customize the sources by modifying the blocklist_urls array in the config.json file.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have Python 3.x installed on your system.
• Install the required Python package:

  pip install requests

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/adblock-filter-compiler.git
   cd adblock-filter-compiler

2. Create a config.json file and configure your blocklist URLs:

   {
     "blocklist_urls": [
       "https://example.com/blocklist1.txt",
       "https://example.com/blocklist2.txt"
     ]
   }

3. Run the script to generate the filter list:

   python adblock_filter_compiler.py

   The script will output a blocklist.txt file containing the compiled filter list.

Automated Updates

This repository leverages GitHub Actions to automate the filter compilation process. The workflow is scheduled to run daily, ensuring that the blocklist.txt file is updated with the latest changes.
