Google Groups Killfile Browser Helper Object for Internet Explorer
Desertphile
Internet Explorer:
http://holysmoke.org/ggfbho/index.htm
One may use the installation program or register the .DLL via the
Microsoft Windows REGSVR32.EXE program.
This software is provided "AS-IS." It is up to you to understand
how it works, and to use it properly. I make zero promisses that
it will work properly for you. I have also provided the Visual
BASIC 6.0 source code to both the Browser Helper Object (the .DLL)
and the installation program (the .EXE file) so that you may
examine them for safety, and for you to modify if the originals do
not meet your requirements.
The installation program will show the requirements for a
successful installation. If and when you wish to remove the Google
Groups Killfile / Filter Browser Helper Object from your computer,
just run this installation program again and select the "Remove
GoogleGroupsBHO" button.
Select the new link at the top right corner of the browser titled
"Killfile" to open up the options dialog window. NOTE: One must
"sign in" to Google Groups before this option is available.
The options dialog window contains options on how you wish the
killfile BHO to work. This is where you may add and remove names
to be filtered, and also tell the program how to mark article
entries that have been removed.
The filter list is simple. You may *NOT* add portions of a name:
therefore "User444" and "User633" may *NOT* both be filtered out
by just entering "User" in the list. Lists are not case-sensitive.
You may tell the killfile to hide the removal completly, or list
the name being filtered, or just say that an entry has been
filtered--- using the "Killfile" link at the top right corner.
To add an asshole to the killfile list, select the "SLAY" in front
of the asshole's name and you should hear a "DING!" or a "BEEP!"
telling you the name has been added. If you do not hear the sound,
your sound card is either trashed or the name is already in your
killfile list.
Updated killfile names will not take effect until you either
refresh the web page, or navigate to a new page.
If all of the articles on a page have been filtered, the
AutoNavigate option (see option list dialog window above) will
automatically navigate to the next (Older) page if the option is
checked.
