Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Adblock Plus 3.8.1 for Opera · 2020-02-25 17:00 by Sebastian Noack
Install Adblock Plus 3.8.1 for Opera
When releasing Adblock Plus 3.8 we ran into an issue with the Opera Addons website that prevented us from making the new version available on Opera (core#132). This issue has been resolved now, and we finally were able to deliver the update on Opera as Adblock Plus 3.8.1. Other than a minor change required for submission on Opera Addons this build is identical to what has been released as Adblock Plus 3.8 for other browsers.

Adblock Plus 2.0.1 for Safari released · 2018-09-19 18:05 by Dean Murphy
Install Adblock Plus 2.0.1 for Safari
Adblock Plus 2.0.1 has been made from the ground up to support Safari’s native content blocking engine, which is required for ad blocking to function as of Safari 12.0.
The main advantage of using the new content blocking APIs are the significant improvements to the speed and performance of ad blocking capabilities. Using these APIs also means there’s still some ground work to be done to improve the accuracy of what’s being blocked. We’ll be working over time to better optimize our filter list generation to provide a great ad blocking experience.
As this is a newly-built native macOS app, some features from the previous version aren’t available just yet but will be re-introduced with ongoing development.
Changes
- Added filter list management
- Added user controlled whitelisting
- Added ‘Help Page’ with support/social links
- Added user controlled whitelisting in toolbar extension UI
- Added on-boarding instructions
- Added automated removal of legacy ABP extension
- Fixed whitelist UI not updating in some instances

Adblock Plus 1.12.3 for Safari released · 2016-09-21 13:17 by Dave Vandyke
Install Adblock Plus 1.12.3 for Safari (Safari 6 or higher required)
This is an emergency release, only for Safari, which fixes compatibility with Safari 10. Starting with Safari 10 Technical Preview Release 11, Apple made a change which broke Adblock Plus. Safari 10 was then released before our fix (issue 4150) could be released normally. As a result we are forced to perform this emergency release.
Builds for Chrome and Opera were generated as well. But since there were no changes compared to the previous release, we didn’t upload these to their respective web stores.
Safari-only changes
- Adapted
Event.initEvent()calls for compatibility with Safari 10 (issue 4150).
