Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Adblock Plus 1.1.2 for Android released · 2013-05-15 13:21 by Wladimir Palant

If you already have Adblock Plus for Android, it should notify you about the update shortly and download it automatically.

This release temporarily disables the element hiding functionality of Adblock Plus to reduce the memory footprint. Blocking functionality isn’t affected and the overall effect should be limited — some websites will have empty spots where ads were blocked and some text ads won’t be hidden. The element hiding functionality will be enabled again once we manage to either get the size of filter lists down or make their in-memory representation more compact.

Adblock Plus 2.2.4 for Firefox released · 2013-05-08 17:09 by Wladimir Palant

Install Adblock Plus 2.2.4

This release fixes an issue when running Adblock Plus in the upcoming Firefox 22 release (no colors/images in filters list and list of blockable items). It also fixes a mistaken typo correction when a domain name with a trailing dot is entered.

Update (2013-05-10): As we are signing our releases again, support for Firefox 15 and below had to be dropped due to significant bugs in the way extension signatures are verified (bug 765676 and bug 726125). If you are affected by this, please update to a Firefox version still supported by Mozilla – at the moment this means Firefox 20 (recommended) or Firefox 17 ESR. Older releases are not safe to use!
