Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Renaming extensions · 2010-05-21 11:24 by Wladimir Palant

Some people using development builds probably noticed already: the full name of Element Hiding Helper is no longer “Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper” but rather “Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus”. Given that some people are still confusing Element Hiding Helper with Adblock Plus this change is long overdue. The only reason it hasn’t been implemented earlier is that the new name is no longer language-neutral, it needs to be translated into various languages. But that’s something that can be done now. Element Hiding Helper also got its own icon which is slightly different from the Adblock Plus icon.

Compatibility with Adblock Plus 1.3a restored · 2010-05-20 07:00 by Wladimir Palant

Element Hiding Helper 1.1a.20100520 restores compatibility with Adblock Plus 1.3a, it isn’t compatible with Adblock Plus 1.2 and below however. Other changes:

  • Dependency on Adblock Plus is managed “manually” now. This means that rather than becoming disabled in Add-on Manager without obvious reason Element Hiding Helper will now show a message suggesting to install/update/enable Adblock Plus and allowing to accomplish that with one click. Note: a message that a restart is necessary isn’t being displayed yet.
  • Marked as compatible with SeaMonkey 2.1a2.
