    I just had to find another one ;-)

    This was probably already present in the old dev build: If you move the mouse on the free space in ABP prefernces (for example if you don’t have any filters there) you get the regex/short-filter tooltip.

    Yep, and I already fixed this one (though not in this dev build). Thanks anyway :)

    Now that I know how to make one on my own (thanks to your instructions), I don’t have to wait any more. :D

    I noticed that element-hiding does not show up in the blocked items anymore. I used to be able to “OK” the Prefs window to get them to show …. but not anymore. I also don’t think the dev even shows them the first time either.
    Is this because of the design … or just an oversight?

    Reply from Wladimir Palant:

    I guess that’s a bug. However, this will need more thorough fixing anyway.

    Reply from Wladimir Palant:

    Ok, I see now – element hiding isn’t reset unless something actually changed. So you have to add a new element hiding filter or disable an element hiding filter.

    Tested a little – no, seems to be no bug here. Element hiding filters show up if something changed. Of course they should always show up but that’s a different issue.

    I can see them again after a browser restart.

    It doesn’t work like it did before now, but I found an easier way to show the element-hiding rules. All you have to do it disable and re-enable ABP (middle click the ABP logo). This works.

    Good to know, thx. :)

    Filters in subscriptions you’ve just added are displayed as too short until you hit “Apply”. Also, filters in disabled subscriptions have the warning (not immediately after disabling them, but after a restart).

    Heh, I thought I fixed that issue – guess not. Thanks for letting me know.

    Another thing I have noticed is that general whitelisting is created WITHOUT an http:// beginning (that was the way it had to work before) .

    Normally, a domain whitelist needs something like:
    @@http://video.nytimes.com/
    .. to work.

    But I noticed that:
    @@/video.nytimes.com/*
    … will whitelist the whole domain … not just the individual addresses that contain /video.nytimes.com/
    .

    Reply from Wladimir Palant:

    Actually, it wasn’t meant to work like that – you need to explicitly specify $document for page whitelisting (or http:// to imply $document). So that’s a bug to be fixed, thanks for noticing it.
