Quick fix and it looks like we are back in business :)

Here is the link to the updated script.

Google Groups KillFile 3.5.3

If you need to clear your old kill list completely just type about:config into the address bar and then seach for killfile – right click and reset that to clear your list.

I haven’t tested this personally but hopefully it address the problems people have been having since Google updated things.

Here is the link to the updated script.

Google Groups KillFile 3.5.2

When you bring up the KillFile you can now

“Click X to reanimate the dead”
“Click Y to edit the filter”
“Click Z to edit regular expressions (experts only)”

He also added “Add Address” and “Add Topic” options as well as making it update automatically after pressing ‘X’, ‘Y’, ‘Z’

You can download the new version of the Google Groups KillFile right here. So give it a whirl and let me know how it goes.

Thanks again Tim!

So please download the latest script Google Groups KillFile 3.4.3 and let me know how it goes. If you have any problems please let me know the URL and the name you are trying to block and I’ll look into it.

Happy Blocking :)

Check it out and see how you like it, you can run this alongside the KillFile script for the bestest browsing experience :) Enjoy.

Will keep you all updated.
