Adguardfilters: Please change the Wiltteri list (Finnish block list) to Juvander's Adblock List for Finland

[TommiContursi]

Wiltteri list for Finland is no longer updated and the new updated list is Juvander's Adblock List for Finland:

http://adb.juvander.net/Finland_adb.txt

But Finland_adb.txt contains only 700 strings, an old filter contains more than 3600.

[TommiContursi]

Old filter is updated 16 May 2015 so it might contain old and useless rules. Juvander's list is updated quite regularly.

At the moment you can't add own filter list subscription in Adguard for Android or in Adguard for mac, and that's whyt it should be included in Adguard and looks like it's been there (http://www.juvander.fi/site/ilpo/Forums/tabid/139/forumid/23/threadid/3798/scope/posts/Default.aspx) but maybe it's removed in some update?

At the moment you can't add own filter list subscription in Adguard for Android

but you can import this filter by URL(not the best solution, but..)

Could you ask Ilpo Juvander about an old filter? Is it still actual?

@ameshkov What should we do - append new(small) filter to existing, or add new filter?(will not be available for android users)

[TommiContursi]

Yes, it can be imported and it works quite well in Android but you can't import it to Adguard for Mac. That's quite annoying since the old wiltteri list can't block all the ads in finnish news site.

The Wiltteri list isn't Juvander's list and never has been. Looks like the orginal author has abonded it like a two years ago (https://github.com/wiltteri/source).

That's why Juvander started to maintain his own list (http://www.juvander.fi/site/ilpo/Home/tabid/127/EntryId/825/New-Adblock-filter-list.aspx) and now it's quite popular in Finland and it's updated frequently. Juvander even has own adblocking app: https://itunes.apple.com/fi/app/adblocker-for-finland/id1042209769?mt=8

Here is some discussion about Wiltteri and Juvander's list in finnish: http://murobbs.muropaketti.com/threads/wiltteri-eli-wiltteri-net-on-lopettanut.1089738/

Juvander's wrote in the last message that he has nothing to do with Willtteri list. First when he started his own list, he planned to use Wiltteri list as a template but soon realized that Willteri had a web pages which no longer existed or were outdated. So, he thought it would be easier to start from scratch.

Ok, got it.

[ameshkov]

@Alex-302 I guess we should make it available for all AG versions and make it default for Finnish users

[Alex-302]

@ameshkov What exactly am I have to do?

• add new filter and leave an old filter
• add new, and remove old

[ameshkov]

Add new and leave old filter untouched.

Eventually we will mark it deprecated.

[Alex-302]

@mmigi Please make you changes. Details are in PM.

[ameshkov]

@mmigi ping

[mmigi]

All is ok! Juvander's Adblock List for Finland filter has been added and it will be by default for Filnland.

[juvander]

Nice one 😀

And yes, this list is regularly updated as well based on feedback that I get 😀

[TommiContursi]

Hi! Are you going to add Juvander's list to the Android version or replace Wiltteri with it any time soon?

Re-assigned that to v2.9 R2 patch so that it was released as soon as possible.
