Adblock Plus roadmap
This roadmap shows the high-level state of planning for Adblock Plus and related extensions. It is subject to constant change. A new version is generally being released when all features scheduled for it have been implemented and sufficiently tested in development builds.
Adblock Plus
Adblock Plus 2.2
- First-run page: Allow adding a privacy subscription
- Present users with a simpler user interface unless "advanced mode" is switched on
- Integrate Element Hiding Helper into Adblock Plus ("advanced mode" only)
- Filter Preferences: Allow selecting multiple subscriptions (for Update and Delete actions)
- Issue reporter: allow scrolling while selecting in the screnshot — tentative
- Simplify using Adblock Plus in "blacklist mode" (add "@@$document" via option and allow "Disable on ..." to modify it) — tentative
- Preview for subscription being added — tentative
- Better support for data: URL subscriptions — tentative
- Support TLD wildcard for $domain option — tentative
Unscheduled changes
- Blockable items improvements: item size for background images, preview for images loaded by Flash, file size
- Add UI to create exception rules with the new $elemhide option
- Don't open a new window when user is blocking from the list of blockable items, show filter composer there directly
- Thunderbird: Improve support for browser tabs
- Add Wyzo support
- Thunderbird: Allow restricting rules to mails from particular address or domain
- C++ implementation of core classes (via JSctypes) for better performance (current JavaScript implementation stays there as fallback)
