Changing a single element hiding rule caused the global stylesheet to apply again to all open tabs, this could cause significant delays.The global stylesheet could not consider exceptions, such as websites where a particular rule should not apply - we had to implement a complicated mechanism to make sure that the rule didn’t have any effect in such cases, and on some websites there still were side-effects.Rather than decide on the filters for each website individually, all element hiding rules would be written into a single elemhide.css stylesheet file that would apply to all websites unconditionally. Traditionally, element hiding on Firefox worked quite differently from all other platforms supported by Adblock Plus. Considering this, and the fact that CSS property filters are slower than regular element hiding rules, they should only be used as a last resort. Please note that we still consider CSS property filters an experimental feature, and therefore subject to change. and Adblock Plus for Chrome and Opera as of 1., and will presumably be released with the next stable version on each platform respectively.
These improvements are available in Adblock Plus for Firefox as of 2. The default matching behaviour is still the same, to use regular expressions, a matching expression needs to start and end with /, for example: #px /']
To address this, properties can now optionally be matched using regular expressions. Until now, CSS properties could only be matched using the simple URL matching syntax, which made it difficult to match property values in a fine-grained manner. This is unlikely to result in undesired behaviour as there shouldn’t be many use cases for case sensitive property matching. This is a change in semantics CSS properties will now always be matched in a case insensitive manner, to make it consistent with the way Adblock Plus matches URLs. Today, we have landed two improvements to this: Case insensitive matching Note that the format of the Web Extensions storage is still supposed to change which will hopefully make it more robust and performant.Ībout a year ago, we introduced CSS property filters as a means of hiding elements based on their styles. We are moving towards releasing Adblock Plus 2.9 which will start data migration for our entire user base. Please tell us about any data loss issues you encounter after this change. However, the data will no longer be stored in the adblockplus/patterns.ini file of your Firefox profile but rather in the browser-extension-data//storage.json file. Any existing data (this includes both current filters/subscriptions and automatic backups) will be taken over automatically and ideally there should be no visible changes at this point. development build we will use Web Extensions for data storage. In order to prepare for the transition, starting with Adblock Plus 2. There's no mention of a specific timescale, but it certainly sounds as though developers are keen to have the extension out there as soon as possible.New data storage in Adblock Plus for Firefox Īs of Firefox 57, classic extensions such as the current Adblock Plus for Firefox will no longer load and only Web Extensions will be allowed to continue working. This was certainly not the only question about the release date of Adblock Plus for Microsoft Hey Patryk! We'll be there as soon as Microsoft let us in! :) Just waiting for Microsoft to allow us to be released. Responding to a query on Twitter, Adblock Plus revealed that it will be making its way to Microsoft Edge We're working on it as we speak. This could mean that there is compatibility testing to undertake, or it could be that Microsoft is still trying to iron out the kinks extension support is essentially in beta, after all. The good news is that one is in the works - the only thing standing in the way now is Microsoft.Īlthough no precise reason is given, Adblock Plus says that it is waiting for Microsoft's approval so the release can take place. Included on this list is Adblock Plus, and its fans are clamoring for a version they can use in Edge.
