Would be nice to have:

1. Import a .txt file containing the regex filter list directly. Currently I open up the OmniWeb .plist file and add those regexes as child items (faster than adding them thru the UI in Prefs).

2. Sync like how AdBlock on Fx does it: via a central server, adding new stuff as it is updated.

3. A seperate block and whitelist not buried in OmniWeb's main plist.

Yes! This would facilitate moving rules from one Mac to another.

I figured out how to add/import the filterset.g black list if anyone is interested. It takes a third part tool to covert it from binary to ascii but it's pretty easy.

[edit] Even better, plutil is free and included with OSX. It will convert the binary com.omnigroup.Omniweb5.plist to ascii and back to binary. Once converted to ascii, use your favorite editor to add regex strings to your hearts content then convert it back to binary.

plutil -convert xml1 com.omnigroup.Omniweb5.plist (convert to ascii)
plutil -convert binary1 com.omnigroup.Omniweb5.plist (convert to bianry)

Remember to back com.omnigroup.Omniweb5.plist up first!!!!

I used bbEdit to markup the filterset.g blacklist and pasted it in. I think it's working right.. I'll get back to you on that.

Thanks for the heads-up on this one.
Yes, it works beautifully :)

I'd prefer an online-updated list... :)

Since the usability of this adblocking-"addon" is - well - crappy, I used the /private/etc/hosts-file to block ads permanently. Use this exemplary file and add the contents using "sudo pico /private/etc/hosts".
