Merlin: Ad block OEM firmware

[NightOwl326]

Merlin:
Can the adblocker be turned on and off with the latest factory/stock/beta firmwares for the 3200 using your provided commands or is the adblocker only available with your modified firmware? I'm unsure if you had to make modifications to incorporate the adblocker or if your commands will turn it on/off behind the scenes with the asus firmware and be like yours now just not showing the Adblock interface page.

I don't know. This is a feature that Asus never finalized, so it could be removed by them at any time. All this code is closed source, I have no idea what's in there.

Really, you don't want to use this. It's known to be broken, and the lack of whitelisting makes it unusable as well.

For me it is just enough to get the job done. I have yet to find Adblock perfection for the whole family, but this Adblock fills the gap nicely. Power users should have been fine just turning it off. It's kind of like if you don't like the show just turn the channel. I'm a conservative so I believe in choice. It's removal is my only disagreement with Merlin firmware to date. Just turn it off if you hate it, or turn the channel if you hate Fox News network.
