allow to add more subgroups to ABE

Post by palme »

Hi,

it would be much better to allow more "subgroups" in ABE

currently there is only SYSTEM and USER

but as all user rules go to USER it gets really messy. Therefore it would be much better to allow to create more
"subgroups" to allow a better grouping of ABE rules and a better handling to allow to just disable a not needed
subgroup that is only used for testing for example.

it's already possible.
about:config -> create string named "noscript.ABE.rulesets.FOO" with value "#"
then edit the FOO ruleset in noscript options -> advanced -> abe

note that you should *not* do this unless you want some ABE rules processed independently from what you have in your other rulesets, because each ruleset gets processed until a match is found (then processing *that* ruleset stops), but the procesing of one ruleset has no effect on the processing of another, so unless you need that independence you would unnecessarily lose performance
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
