Adblock Plus and (a little) more

Subscription-related user interface parts reworked · 2009-12-27 03:53 by Wladimir Palant

The current development build (Adblock Plus 1.1.2+.2009122702) features many changes to the subscription-related user interface parts (mostly post-install subscription selection and “Add filter subscription” from Adblock Plus preferences):

  • Less/simpler text
  • User is immediately presented with the subscription suggestion matching his browser locale, other recommended subscriptions are available in dropdown list.
  • A warning is shown if the user closes the post-install page without adding a subscription.
  • Adding a different subscription no longer happens in a separate dialog window.
  • No longer necessary to go to the webpage for the full list of subscriptions, when you choose to add a different subscription the full list is loaded automatically. A subscription can be selected with one click, subscriptions matching your browser locale are emphasized.
  • Subscriptions are offered by languages rather than regions now.
  • Việt Nam List is back as a recommendation.

These changes can be discussed in the corresponding forum topic. Older changes since Adblock Plus 1.1.2 release:

  • HTML5 audio and video can now be blocked via context menu
  • Toolbar icon tooltip shows more information (number of filters/subscriptions in use, number of whitelisted items and matching element hiding rules)
