Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Element Hiding Helper 1.1 is feature complete · 2010-10-27 06:00 by Wladimir Palant
Element Hiding Helper 1.1b.20101027 development build contains all the features that will go into the final version, the outstanding changes should only be translations and bugfixes now. This build requires an Adblock Plus 1.3 development build. If things go well, both Element Hiding Helper 1.1 and Adblock Plus 1.3 will be released on November 2nd.
Changes since the previous announcement:
- Dropped support for Firefox 3.0, Songbird versions before Songbird 1.9 and Midbrowser
- Compatible with Firefox 4 again (worked around bug 604736 among other things)
- Better code to mark selected elements, solves a number of issues
- Selection will no longer descend into data: frames (element hiding rules cannot be applied to elements in such frames)
- New “lock/unlock selection” command
- Alternative command hotkeys can be specified for languages where it isn’t clear which keyboard layout is being used (e.g. Russian)
- Element Hiding Helper has its own About dialog (reachable via Tools / Add-ons) and extension icon now
- Moved preferences to extensions.elemhidehelper.* branch (old preferences are imported automatically)
- Hotkey configuration will automatically ignore combinations that are already taken, specifying multiple options in extensions.elemhidehelper.selectelement_key preference is possible. The new default is Ctrl-Shift-K and Ctrl-Shift-S (the latter will be used on Firefox 4).
- Shift+Mousewheel can be used to triggger wider/narrower commands
- Composer: Better escaping of dangerous characters in CSS code (particularly for id and class attributes, forum topic)
- Composer: Warning when “My Element Hiding Rules” group is disabled
- Composer: Tag name isn’t checked by default if id or class attributes are present (forum topic)
- Composer: Preference extensions.elemhidehelper.composer_defaultDomain now controls which domain suggestion will be selected by default (forum topic)
- Preference extensions.elemhidehelper.acceptlocalfiles allows creating rules for local files (but won’t make these rules apply when used in Adblock Plus)
