Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Object tabs running amok · 2006-06-19 22:18 by Wladimir Palant
Blog search sometimes turns up pretty weird hits for “Adblock” — blog entries that have nothing to do with Adblock but contain object tabs similar to those created by Adblock Plus when “Show tabs on Flash and Java” option is on. There is for example this entry that has 15 fake object tabs for the embedded movie.

Another Gecko bug has been resolved, not quite so recently but still noteworthy: bug 315841. This fixes in particular the bad Java performance Adblock (Plus) users had to endure for years, the browser would always hang until JVM and the applet finished loading.
User stylesheets to apply immediately - fixed · 2006-06-18 20:22 by Wladimir Palant
This is great news: bug 335689 has been fixed. This means that in current trunk nightlies stylesheets registered via the stylesheet service will apply to already loaded documents, not just to those that will be loaded after the change. In particular for Adblock Plus this means that element hiding rules will apply immediately without requiring a page reload.
