Adblock Plus and (a little) more
Adblock Plus 1.8.3 for Chrome, Opera and Safari released · 2014-06-03 17:45 by Thomas Greiner
Install Adblock Plus 1.8.3 for Chrome
Install Adblock Plus 1.8.3 for Opera (Opera 17 or higher required)
Install Adblock Plus 1.8.3 for Safari (Safari 6 or higher required)
Issues like filters being removed on Chrome and settings being reset on Safari led to Adblock Plus not blocking any ads for some users. Starting with this release, the default filter lists will automatically be restored when no filter lists are configured (issue 417). Users who are affected by this will be shown a message and should check their filter list settings.
Chrome/Opera-only changes
- Worked around two bugs in Chrome when using Shadow DOM (issue 450 and issue 498).
- Fixed an issue with blocking ads in situations where we don’t know the top level frame (issue 451).
- Enabled element hiding and collapsing inside inline frames on Chrome 37. A solution for older versions of Chrome and Opera still needs to be implemented (issue 581).
Safari-only changes
- Fixed blocking of elements embedded with a relative URL (issue 573).

It seems that AdBlock Plus for Safari is much more power hungry than AdBlock. I used it on Latest rMBP 2013/13”. Have to test more but all seemed sluggish with AdBlock Plus. Now reverted back to AdBlock and Safari is faster and consumes less. Anyone else?
I’m not sure if I used the latest version so I have to double check.
Reply from Sebastian Noack:
There are some ongoing attempts to improve performance of Adblock Plus. However, on Safari this is particularly difficult for two reasons:
However, there shouldn’t be a large difference compared to AdBlock. If you have a particular case where this is reproducible please open a thread on the forum.
