Some last improvements to tabs on Flash · 2009-06-25 08:10 by Wladimir Palant

Update: The original development build (2009062508, source code revision eae534acf07a) calculated tab positions incorrectly and was replaced.

The improvements to “Tabs on Flash and Java” feature should be complete now. Feel free to provide feedback in the forum.

Note: Adblock Plus 1.1 is feature-complete now. No more features will be added, string freeze starts now. Some stability work still remains before the release however.

Domain exceptions now work for element hiding as well · 2009-06-15 08:00 by Wladimir Palant

This development build is almost feature complete now, further Adblock Plus 1.1 development will focus on stability rather than features. Still possible features: a context menu entry to revert “Disable this filter on example.com” and object tab improvements.

Adding Weave support to an extension · 2009-06-01 12:00 by Wladimir Palant

Weave is a pretty cool extension, it lets you sync your Firefox/Fennec data (history, bookmarks etc.) across multiple computers via some server — and that while the browser is running, no need to restart it. So for example, you might have Fennec running on a Pocket PC and Firefox on your desktop, both logged into the same Weave account. You add a bookmark in Firefox. On next sync (which you can trigger manually) this change will be uploaded to the server. And next time Fennec syncs this bookmark will simply appear in your bookmarks list while the browser is running. Weave works with single bookmarks rather than taking the list as a whole meaning that this update will not affect the other bookmark changes you’ve performed in Fennec in the meantime (those will simply be uploaded to the server so that Firefox can get them on next sync). Add to this encryption, all data is being encrypted locally before being sent to the server — so while the server can tell how many bookmarks you have, it won’t be able to read the actual data. Still, if you don’t trust Mozilla’s server you can run your own without much trouble.

An approach to fair ad blocking - Feedback summary · 2009-05-13 13:41 by Wladimir Palant

I got more than 200 comments in two days to my controversial proposal to occasionally suggest Adblock Plus users to whitelist frequently visited sites. Given that it was a lengthy text and many users came from sites that “compressed” it, the feedback was surprisingly useful (and only few people accusing me of deciding everything without asking users on a blog post that asks users for their opinions). I will try to summarize the important results:
