Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Element Hiding Helper: View source command implemented · 2007-01-09 21:35 by Wladimir Palant
A new development build of the Element Hiding Helper extension (0.9+.2007010920) has been uploaded. This extension is meant to make creating element hiding rules easier, the code to select the element has been adopted from the Aardvark extension. Adblock Plus 0.7.2.3 or higher is required, browser requirements are the same as for Adblock Plus. This extension is still in the early development stages and some features of the final version are missing.
Installation
https://adblockplus.org/devbuilds/
Changes
- The commands “view source” and “view source in separate window” are now available when selecting an element
- Advanced mode: Tree columns id and class now hidden by default to save space
- Making sure selection changes when moving the mouse over our label
What needs to be done
- A way to specify which part of the attribute should be used
- Warning if Element Hiding Helper is installed but Adblock Plus is not there (Firefox 2.0 and higher does it automatically)
- Preview of the filter’s effects
- Apply the filter to the current window immediately, without a reload
Known issues
- Element selection in frames doesn’t work
- Advanced mode: Rows of nodes used in the expression are highlighted with a small but visible delay
- Splitter is broken when switching from basic to advanced view the first time
Non-standard characters in attribute names are not escapedEmpty attributes cannot be selectedSometimes selection’s label itself is selectedPort number is not removed from the suggested domain nameElement selection should not start on file:// URLs (element hiding cannot be applied to those)- Doesn’t work in Thunderbird/Mozilla Mail yet
- View source tooltip’s position/size is influenced by other tooltips
- Wrong tree row selected when switching to advanced mode and some branches are collapsed

Wow, the view source implementation rocks big time!
Especially for small parts of pages, a quick v is way better than SM’s internal “view selection source” functionality. And the colours are nice too :-)
