Hey guys,

I love the work you've done on the ad-blocking script and wiki page. You guys have made it really plainless to install/configure/use ad-blocking in luakit.

I'm currently doing an overhaul of the luakit:// pages at the moment (in the `chrome-upgrade` branch) and I'll add this module to the list and then merge it in.

P.S. Next on my wish-list is adding some security/privacy features from xxxterm into luakit. We have most of the API already but it's not trivial to setup. Any help or experience in this area would be awesome.

Happy hacking!

Yaahoooo! Now I know where the author of Luakit is from! ;D

No, you SHOULD NOT include this module into the main project. I am pretty sure there are a lot of arbitrary — and maybe conflicting with each other — modules for Luakit, and many of them worth being assembled into a swiss-knife library maintained separately and in a similar manner, each one of them. This may give many developers some strong right thumb rules and ease use/development/enhancement of those addons.

Gonna merge the adblock.lua module into such a library, then redesign it using Wladimir Palant's polite hints about filtering speed-up. And I need to be sure that each piece of code that is re-usable in other modules will be placed into an appropriate lib module. And then you may find it worthy and include in the main project.

Also, such a repo could result in a distro package to be called like luakit-addons or somewhat.

One thing more why shouldn't you merge all addons into luakit main project. I suppose there should be a team to maintain modules repo without a need to involve you each time a merge required, so the repo should be a team-accessible repo, without an opportunity to break luakit repo, so thus another one, team-driven.

What you say?
