Tracking Protection List in IE9
- by Emanuele Bartolesi
To protect the privacy when I surf over the internet, I use AdBlockPlus add-in for Firefox. But when I use Internet Explorer 9, this add-in don’t work. Internet Explorer 9 (and I hope Internet Explorer 10) has built in feature to add a TPL. There is a javascript function to call named msAddTrackingProtectionList. This function has two parameter: the first one is the link of TPL and the second one is the Title of TPL. To do this is very easy. Add this simple javascript function on your website or in a blank html page. <a href="javascript:window.external.msAddTrackingProtectionList('http://easylist-msie.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.tpl', 'EasyList Privacy')">EasyPrivacy TPL</a>
The effect is below:
EasyPrivacy TPL
After click appears a confirmation prompt.
For security reason this javascript function can only be called from a user interaction: buttons, links, forms.
For more information about msAddTrackingProtectionList function go to Msdn Library.
For more information about EasyList go to Easy List TPL.
