Have you ever wanted to block a very specific script or scripts but your current ad blocker only deals in subscriptions or lists? If so this app is for you. Pro Script allows you to manually define your own custom rules for complete content blocking control. This is a pro-user level app offering the full power of content blocking at your fingertips. Use it along side your other ad blockers to enhance your web browsing experience. Again, this is a very advanced app meant for those who know what script or rule they need to add. This is not a general purpose ad-blocker. If you're really feeling powerful you can edit the raw JSON for the blocker. It will be ran through a validator just in case the syntax is off just a bit.
