Adblock Plus broken in Safari Technology Preview release 11

Post by cdumez »

Adblock Plus broken in Safari Technology Preview release 11:
https://developer.apple.com/safari/download/

The reason is that AdBlockPlus calls Event.initEvent() with a single parameter instead of 3:
./ext/content.js: beforeLoadEvent.initEvent("beforeload");
./ext/content.js: evt.initEvent(eventName);
./include.youtube.js: beforeLoadEvent.initEvent("beforeload");

As per the latest DOM specification, all 3 parameters are mandatory:

The standard equivalent would be to call initEvent("eventName", false, false).

There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.
