Abstract

This thesis deals with creating an extension for WebKitGTK based browsers that allows users to block advertisements, trackers and other undesirable elements. The extension is implemented in the C programming language. It communicates with a server written in Rust that decides which requests to block and which to allow. The server uses the adblock-rust library that was developed for the Brave browser. Communication between the server and the client uses the Unix domain socket mechanism. The outcome of the thesis is a full-featured content filtering extension that in addition to network filtering also supports dynamic cosmetic filtering. There is also a minimalistic GUI for easy configuration and interaction with the extension.

Keywords

WebKitGTK, browser extension, content filtering, ad blocking, trackers
