[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 829483, member: 71262"] [USER=35475]@floalma[/USER] - I am [I]not[/I] [USER=50782]@Windows_Security[/USER] but I can try to help you. I'm not sure I understand your question, but an example may help. Say you have * google.com * blocked, but you want to use Gmail. If you go to google.com you won't be able to login and you will receive [I]no[/I] notification. You will never receive notifications using dynamic filtering. µBO doesn't work that way. You simply won't be able to login and you will need to apply one or more noops which depends on the site you visit. In this example you will first have to apply a "noop" to google.com. which will enable you to go to the login page, but you will still be unable to login on the next page. So, click on µBO icon, apply "noop" to gstatic.com and you will be able to login. You will have to decide if you want to noop gstatic.com globally, or only on google.com. You will have to do this for all sites you visit if they are broken. Each site will be different, but after working with dynamic filtering for awhile you will quickly begin to see that all sites work [I]essentially[/I] the same way, and you will find some common 3rd party sites that appear over and over again on different sites, depending on your surfing style - that is, where you travel on the web. If you start by blocking 3rd party scripts & frames and then apply global blocks to the web's worst offenders (for me, that is) like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc., then if and when you go to those sites you will need to apply "noop" rules locally. If (when) you encounter broken sites and you don't have time to "fix" the site, you may then temporarily apply a noop to 3rd party scripts & frames - but [I]you will still have your global blocks in place (active) while your static filtering takes on more work.[/I] This is the beauty of using dynamic filtering. With 2 clicks you have some of the power and protection of dynamic blocking + static filters. Later when you visit the same site again and have the time, you may apply permanent rules.

(y) Posting my dynamic rule set would be pointless because these are unique to each µBO user and very dependent on surfing style. The example above should be sufficient to guide you on your way, but I'll be happy to try and help you if you have other questions. :) Remember: Stay safe, not paranoid! :D [/QUOTE]
