I just replaced '*' in urlfilter.ini with nothing, saved it as adblock.ini for Iron and it works.
There is also a VBS script there that can do the necessary replacements from Opera urlfilter.ini to Iron adAlso replacing # via editor by #[blank] is a good idea.
As of now I still cannot find a suitable adblock.ini. Any other help would be appreciated!"Wrong about Ad Block and Ad Block Plus. They can block some but not most. It’s a limitation placed on them from Chrome. The extensions can’t hook into the browser the way they do on Firefox. I have Chrome installed as well as Iron and i can tell you that there is a very noticeable speed difference between the two. Also I see ads load and then disappear in Chrome all the time. They are getting covered up not blocked. I see this on Windows, Linux, and Mac. Iron uses an ad block ini file, like Opera, to block ads not cover them up."

The adblock.ini file prevents the browser from loading ads and therefore saves bandwidth and time (and all the ads add up!). This is mainly because Google makes money off advertising so does not want their ads completely blocked.

No it's not obsolete, you just have to populate it with what you want to block.bugman wrote:Thanks mapx. That's really nice to know - I guess that means adblock.ini is now obsolete as well.
the srware guys could eliminate the requirement to have adblock.ini in the srware folder (even empty)ironuser wrote: I'm not saying to make your own list(long and tedious), just saying the ini file needs to be present.
