How to set up AdBlock in PySide6 Web Browser?

165 Views Asked by James At 06 April 2023 at 14:56

I'm making a web browser using Python and PySide6. I wanted to set up adblocking on this browser. I know it has to be done with a request interceptor, but I cannot figure out how to do it.

I have some code that doesn't work like it should:

from adblockparser import AdblockRules

with open("easylist.txt") as f:
    raw = f.readlines()
    rules = AdblockRules(raw)

class WebEngineUrlRequestInterceptor():
    def intercept(self, info):
        url = info.requestUrl().toString()
        if rules.should_block(url):
            print("block::::::::::::::::::::::", url)
            info.block(True)

interceptor = WebEngineUrlRequestInterceptor()
QtWebEngineWidgets.QWebEngineProfile.defaultProfile().setRequestInterceptor(interceptor)

Could anyone link me up to some resources or help me out by editing my code?

I tried reading the docs and edited the code multiple times but it didn't work.

I expect the code to intercept requests to any of the 'ad sites' mentioned in easylist.txt
