Feature request: list of ads blocked

Post by Tiny Clanger »

Adblock Plus used to show which ads had been blocked when clicking on the icon. These days, it just shows the number of ads blocked, but doesn't say what they are or which rules matched, which makes it difficult to diagnose problems/write whitelists etc.

Would it be possible to have this list back again, perhaps as a sort of advanced mode?

Thanks

Ah, that could be the difference — I used to see that on Firefox, but I'm using Chrome these days. It might be that it's just not in the Chrome version.

Would be nice if it was, though :)

I am a using ABP on Safari and I heartily add my voice to this request for a return of the list of blocked ads. It was one of the reasons I initially started using ABP and its absence and consequent reduction in usefulness is sorely felt. Please bring back the list!

There is no return: it's a new feature for chrome/opera and the devs are working on it (actually the patch is under review).
For safari the implementation will be different (due to safari limitations on API) but it's not planned yet.

Hello mapx,

Greetings..

forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=43791

but i have one request can it be possible in chrome to view those blocked lists in simple way as it is in MS Edge without digging these whole things inside in chrome.it's bit painful.. :) many thanks.

- go to the page where you want to see the lists of items (blockable, blocked, hidden, whitelisted)
- right click on page, click inspect ( or press ctrl-shift-I )
- click on the new "Adblock Plus" tab
- refresh the page (or press F5)
