Description (last modified by jobp)

Background

Maxthon for Android 4.4.0.2000 is currently using the proxy-based approach and routes all traffic through it. This approach is minimal invasive but has the obvious flaws: doesn't support element-hiding and https-blocking. Maxthon should make the changes on their side:

  • disable the proxy code
  • use 'org.adblockplus.libadblockplus' JNI bindings for communicating with 'libadblockplus'
  • directly intercept requests before the transport layer (in the browser)
  • implement element hiding (inject CSS rules), measure memory/performance impact, possibly create workaround for issues
  • add some UI elements and configuration to add custom subscriptions and filters

What to change / implement

#1938 Element Hiding doesn't work
#1952 Not blocking ads on websites using https
