I think it would be nice if it had the same functionality as the webmail adblocker extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... jakdggkkjp . it just seems to be a little silly to install two adblockers...
P.S. I love this extension!!!

What does the webmail blocker do that ABP does not?

To do that (expanding the mail area), one has to modify the stylesheet of the page and Adblock Plus cannot do that (it can only remove things).

IMO it has to expand a bunch of elements to fill the space left behind by blocked ads, while ABP hiding rules merely collapse elements; IMO Webmail Ad Blocker is lightweight enough to go ahead and install in addition to ABP.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

okay. the only reason I mentioned it was because I don't like the fact that webmail adblocker tries (and fails) to make you donate in order to get rid of an annoying link they add onto yahoo mail.
