Peace out ... and long live Crystal · 2015-09-20 12:31 by Ben Williams
We heard with regret that Peace pulled out of the App Store. That sucks, but the good news is that we’ll be there any time now, and in the meantime there are lots of great solutions out there like Crystal to test out.

Adblock Plus for Firefox and Element Hiding Helper development builds now hosted on AMO · 2015-09-04 16:42 by Wladimir Palant
Mozilla is starting to enforce their signing on all add-ons: Firefox 40 already warns about unsigned add-ons, Firefox 41 Beta outright disables them. This isn’t a big issue for our add-on releases as these are signed by addons.mozilla.org (AMO) automatically. However, the development builds were hosted on our own servers until recently, no such signing there.
Because of that, a few weeks ago we moved our development builds to AMO to have them signed automatically. You can also download them from AMO directly (see Development Channel section in the extension description). Anybody who installed development builds from our website should be upgraded to the AMO-hosted builds automatically.

Let’s not f*!@ up mobile: prudence on the small screens · 2015-08-20 17:21 by Ben Williams
A New York Times piece about ad blocking had the following quote this week: “for better ads tomorrow, block ads today.” As ad spend shifts toward mobile it may actually be the newish notoriety of ad blocking, which could push online advertising away from Banner Ads 2.0 and towards something better on our mobile devices.
Element Hiding Helper 1.3.3 released · 2015-08-13 14:46 by Wladimir Palant
Install Element Hiding Helper 1.3.3

The newest PageFair and Adobe ad blocking report entitled The cost of ad blocking came out yesterday. This is just another piece of evidence showing the permanence of ad blocking, even and especially as it moves toward mobile, and its role as a disruptive innovator.
