Element Hiding Helper on Edge

Post by maya77 »

We are missing Element Hiding Helper on Edge version of Adblock Plus.

Everything else works fine for me. Thanks for your hard work.

Use "block element" feature ==> click ABP icon, "block element", select what to hide.
For the moment it's the way to create the hiding filters (like in ABP for chrome / opera)

It works, but not for all content type. In particular, Flash is not blockable using Element hider as the context menu is not reachable. Perhaps clicking very close to the border outside the Flash element itself. Easy to test on cnn.com with fully updated system and no other extensions in Edge.

The other unexpected behavior is that the Element Hider option in the context menu does not appear if text or whitespace is right-clicked instead of a picture-type element.

right-clicking does not bring up the block element option using Edge.
will this issue be resolved? it's been a while since first reported, apparently & still no solution.
