Note

New Features:

• Support for MyAnimeList Ad Blocking:
• Added new rules to block advertisements on https://myanimelist.net.
• Includes blocking of banners, sidebars, and dynamically injected ads.

Enhanced Dynamic Content Blocking

• Improved content.js to observe DOM mutations and remove dynamically loaded ad elements.
• Blocks stylesheets, scripts, and iframes associated with ad-serving domains.

Expanded Rule Set

• Added rules to block additional ad domains such as:
• quantserve.com
• outbrain.com
• quantcount.com
• Included rules for specific ad styles (e.g., creative_figma_2.css).

Improved URL Detection

• Enhanced detection of URL changes (e.g., hashchange, popstate) for single-page applications (SPAs) to dynamically update blocking.

Bug Fixes:

Resolved Syntax Errors

• Fixed a syntax error in content.js caused by an unclosed or misplaced brace (}).

Manifest Validation Issue

• Addressed an issue where the rules.json file caused extension load failures due to malformed JSON.
  Cleaned up JSON structure in the manifest and rules file.

Persistent Ad Remnants

• Fixed an issue where certain dynamically loaded ads (e.g., creative_figma_2.css and widget.js) were not consistently removed.

Content Script Observers

• Fixed overlapping MutationObserver definitions to streamline ad detection and improve performance.

Improvements

Performance Optimization

• Reduced the number of redundant observer triggers to minimize CPU usage.
• Optimized DOM queries to target specific ad elements more efficiently.

Dynamic Rule Matching

• Introduced rules to handle dynamic ad-serving domains and scripts injected at runtime.

Detailed Logging

• Added logging in content.js for easier debugging and monitoring of blocked ads and URL changes.

Caution

Known Issues

New Ad Sources

• Some newly introduced ad domains or dynamically generated scripts/styles may bypass the current block list. Continuous updates are needed to address this.

Reloading Required for Certain Scenarios

• In some cases, blocking dynamically injected ads might require a manual page reload to take full effect.
