Copying Adblock Plus settings from one Chrome browser to another

Steps below are for Dissenter so replace \GabAI\Dissenter\ below with \Google\Chrome\ if you use their version of Chrome.

  1. Close your browser on the TARGET machine
  2. (Backup if you want then) Delete contents of this folder on the TARGET machine: C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\GabAI\Dissenter\User Data\Default\Local Extension Settings\cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb
  3. Copy the files from the same folder above on the SOURCE machine and copy them into the folder you just emptied in step #2 above
  4. Start your browser on the TARGET machine and test your Adblock Plus settings. With any luck, like me, your Adblock Plus settings/filters will have been copied over!

Note: It's possible Google's Chrome sync handles all the above now - but since Dissenter doesn't have sync full working yet the above still necessary.
