If you are not aware what scriptlets are beforehand, it's recommended not to use them.
Many times, basic ad-blocking is not enough and that's where scriptlets come in. Scriptlets are a superpower inside ad-blocking world. But… with great power, comes great responsibility!
Scriptlets are chunks of JavaScript code that run on a particular site and can change its behavior majorly, e.g.: cut down waiting time, disable popup windows, prevent aggressive ads and many things more!
💡 Remember to add scriptlets only from trusted source.
AdVoid being a complete ad-blocking solution, also provides scriptlets listed below.
Infiltrates and then destroys common anti-adblock techniques.

While the majority of AdVoid's rules manage to block more than enough ads for most users, some rules in AdVoid only activate if the ad-blocker marks the used list(s) as trusted.
This will unlock advanced techniques like:
- Setting cookies via scriptlets (
trusted-set-cookie) - Rewriting JavaScript on the fly (
replace=...) - Redirecting scripts with custom logic (
redirect-rule=...)
These are powerful tools that go beyond cosmetic hiding and ad-blocking, they alter a site's behavior directly. To enable them, users must manually mark AdVoid filter list(s) as trusted in their ad-blocker settings.
Many ad-blockers show an error when trusted rules are encountered (shown below), thus, signaling the list needs to be trusted to achieve its full potential.
See the Disclaimer as well.

As AdVoid continues to improve, certain rules will get deprecated and removed from main filter lists and transferred to the Legacy filter lists, see Legacy README for more information.
AdVoid was started as a personal project in January, 2022 then made public mid February of the same year. At first it was very easy to add new rules or modify existing ones since there were only a few rules to manage. As the filter list continued to grow, it diverged into distinct, smaller lists known as modules and add-ons - for easier maintenance.
Even with all the rules-splitting, maintenance was cumbersome. Since Aug 14 2023, AdVoid has been powered by ADBT - a language that defines template files and provides ways of writing reusable, component-like ad-block filter files and its compiler Aria that substantially increase productivity and cut down the time needed for maintaining these filter lists, which means more frequent updates and delivery on a daily basis.
The modules were:
- AdVoid.Core - core functionality (ad-blocking, URL + cosmetic)
- AdVoid.DNS - DNS-blocking (URL only)
- AdVoid.Full - full content blocking (core functionality + add-ons)
The add-ons were:
- AdVoid.Addon.NoAnnoyances - blocks site annoyances: cookie-consent banners, popups, etc.
- AdVoid.Addon.NoExternals - blocks external features: sharing, Google Chromecast, etc.
- AdVoid.Addon.NoExtras - blocks non-essential resources: news widgets, JavaScript and CSS maps, PWA install banners, etc.
- AdVoid.Addon.Experiments - unstable and experimental filter list, use only for testing purposes and with caution since it may break certain sites.
Even so it was a hassle to maintain the filter lists, in particular it involved hours of endless scrolling through rules to add a new rule to the end of a particular section or deleting one, updating the timestamp to the current one following the ISO 8601 standard often using non-maintainer's timezone, bumping the version, changing the description and many things more.
That's where ADBT - a language that defines template files and provides ways of writing reusable, component-like ad-block filter files and its compiler
Ariacame into play.
After creating the before-mentioned solutions, AdVoid was split even further into small chunks of rules, properly separated and organized which allowed for easier maintenance, less time scrolling through endless lists of rules and more importantly it allowed re-use of rules, i.e. rules that were repeating, e.g. URLs that were blocked in all 3 modules: AdVoid.Core, AdVoid.DNS, AdVoid.Full were consolidated in a single file and Aria would fetch the URL rules from the given file and apply transformations when needed, e.g. domain rules are stripped of all modifiers for the AdVoid.DNS module.
Since Aria saves a substantial amount of time needed for maintaining filter lists, Aria has allowed the productivity to increase exponentially which in turn allowed for rule additions/deletions to skyrocket, see the graph below. 🚀
Figure 2. a graph showing substantial increase of rule commits (Jan - Dec, 2023) when using the
Aria compiler
🍪 Let's crunch those numbers! 🍪
Prior to implementing ADBT template files and using the Aria compiler, which occurred in mid August, 2023, there were ~352 rule commits per month.
After implementing the before-mentioned solutions there were ~4240 rule commits per month (+1104.5%), while commits reached their peak in December, with staggering ~5861 rule commits (+1565.1%).
