Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Status update: 2010-10-22 · 2010-10-23 12:56 by Wladimir Palant

Worked 4.5 days on Adblock Plus this week.

Done

• Issue reporter client-side implementation
• Started beta phase for Adblock Plus
• Finalized Adblock Plus strings, translators started working
• Added third/first party indicator to document source column in blockable items
• Changed build system to centralize extension metadata in one file (particularly to allow generating homepage links for available languages automatically)
• Updated German translation (thanks to MonztA for proofreading)
• Rearchitectured Element Hiding Helper, made it more like Adblock Plus
• Changed configuration of Element Hiding Helper hotkeys to allow specifying multiple hotkeys (Ctrl-Shift-S is now used if Ctrl-Shift-K is taken)
• A few minor changes to Element Hiding Helper filter composer

Next

• Finalize Element Hiding Helper strings and start string freeze/beta phase here (ideally on Monday)
• Firefox Sync support
• Update Russian Adblock Plus translation
• Update Diagnostics extension
• Adblock Plus, Element Hiding Helper and Diagnostics release candidates — need them by the end of next week
• Finish server-side implementation of the issue reporter (sending notifications, removing old reports, immediate feedback for known issues)

   Adblock Plus suddenly stopped working in Firefox. I have it turned on and it’s not blocking ads or popups anymore. Even after I block an ad it will show up again.

   This is in version 3.6.11 of Firefox

   Such issues are better discussed in the forum. I can only point you to https://adblockplus.org/en/known-issues – but if none of these is your case you better create a forum topic.

   Will there be a version compatible with the current 4.0 beta?
   Or do I have to go back to using 3.6? Because Adblock and Stylish are the two most things I can’t surf the web without. :)
