Acceptable ads always enabled after update

Hi,

For about the last 4-5 auto updates to the dev builds in Chrome the acceptable ads box is always ticked by default even if unticked before the update.

For example your browsing with chrome with acceptable ads disabled, adblock+ dev build auto updates & shows the adblock page with the switches, when you then go into adblock+ options the acceptable ads is always ticked.

Could this be fixed so it doesn't do that or is now policy to force the acceptable ads on users?

Cheers,
Banzi.

I can confirm this behaviour.

Looks like a careless bug. They're comparing against the Firefox version number 2.1 when the Chrome version number is still 1.x

Code: Select all

  // Add "acceptable ads" subscription for new users and users updating from old ABP versions
  var addAcceptable = (!prevVersion || Services.vc.compare(prevVersion, "2.1") < 0);
  if (addAcceptable)
  {
    addAcceptable = !FilterStorage.subscriptions.some(function(subscription)
    {
      return subscription.url == Prefs.subscriptions_exceptionsurl;
    });
  }

Yes, looks like you are right. Internally, Chrome builds were using the same version numbers as Firefox builds until recently. This changed now but this code was forgotten. Fixed now: https://hg.adblockplus.org/adblockplusc ... 6447b2203d
