Adblocker with own filter rules

Several years before, I had an adblocker add-on with a feature to define own filter rules.

With that feature, I was able to block parts of often visited web pages with some few mouse clicks only.

Unfortunately, I don't remember, which adblocker and which additional addon I used at that time.

How can I find back that solution for me?

Hello firefox612,

There are quite a few adblockers out there; hard to tell which one you
used ....

I use AdBlock Plus myself (don't use custom filters, but I could if I wanted to) :

https://help.eyeo.com/adblockplus/how-to-write-filters

AdBLock (not related to AdBlock Plus) has the option too :

https://help.getadblock.com/support/solutions/articles/6000161377-how-to-use-custom-filters

I will let you check these :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblocker-ultimate/

And you'll find more here :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=adblockers

I hope you can find the one you are looking for !

(edit : typo)
