"Block element" dialog hangs with "Loading..."

Post by candrews »

Hello, I would like to report a problem I have been having with Adblock Plus. The "Block element" dialog used to work fine about 6 months ago, but it stopped working seemingly after either the browser of the extension was updated. I don't know which.

Adblock Plus version: 3.2
Browser: Vivaldi 1.15.1147.52 (Stable channel) (32-bit) revision 6f366dbb9172720708b4db54fba0e304861fbd42-
OS: Windows 7 and 10 (reproduces on both)

Repro steps:
1. Go to any web site, for example, newegg.com
2. Click the ABP logo to the right of the Address bar
3. On ABP's pop-up menu, click "Block element". A dialog will be shown, saying to click the element that should be blocked. You can now mouse-over web page elements and they are highlighted in yellow.
4. Click any element.

Expected: ABP dialog lets you add the appropriate filter to block an element
Actual: ABP dialog shows "Loading..." text forever.

Did you try testing ABP in chrome ?

I tested the same site in chrome and no issue for me.

You could also test in a completely new profile in vivaldi with ABP installed (no other extension)
