I have recently installed Ubuntu (14.04) on new partition. I still have the broken version of Ubuntu on the old partition and I want to copy some settings from it. Now I trying to find location of AdBlock plus settings and custom filters, because I use it only of few webs with excessive advertising. I have googled a lot with no luck.

I do not use adblock on chrome, but i know that some chrome configurations can be found under:

/home/<user>/.config/google-chrome

May you should take a look in the Default/Extensions folder.

Good luck!

  • I have searched that folder before I have posted the question. There is many files related to AdBlock, but I could not find any configuration/settings files. – Juraj.Lorinc Nov 06 '14 at 13:25
  • Hmm, it seems that in Firefox custom hiding rules and custom blocking rules saved in a file called patterns.ini. Just installed AdBlock+ for Chrome, but could not find a pattern.ini file or any other file where custom rules have been saved. May you just copy the whole content of the adblock extension folder to your new machine, and see what happens, or you check the adblockplus.org forum. Probably the best way to get some informations. – timausk Nov 06 '14 at 14:20

This comes a year late, but... here goes: your ADP config file for Mozilla 42.0 on Trusty 14.04.x, as customized by the user, is located at:

 ~/.mozilla/firefox/id2jbmsn.default-ddddddddddddd/adblockplus/patterns.ini

where, on my box, ddddddddddddd stands for a 13 digit long numeral.

HTH, however late.
