Adblock Plus 1.3 for IE released · 74 days ago by Oleksandr Paraska
Install Adblock Plus 1.3 for Internet Explorer
Since our last release for Internet Explorer we were very much focused on improving quality of ad blocking and hiding. Hence version 1.3 fixes a lot of issues where ABP for IE either incorrectly blocked a request, or falsely allowed the request through, when it shouldn’t have. We are quite happy with the result, and hope you’ll notice the improvement as well.
If you are interested in a bit more details, here is the list of changes that are included in Adblock Plus 1.3 for Internet Explorer

- Fix “Navigation canceled” messages if IFRAME is blocked (issue 1264)
- Fix version string in Add/Remove programs (issue 1222)

Adblock Plus 2.6.6 for Firefox released · 108 days ago by Wladimir Palant
Install Adblock Plus 2.6.6 for Firefox
There is only one change, Adblock Plus will use a slightly different approach to read files from disk (issue 1510). The reason is a change that Mozilla made for Firefox and that broke Adblock Plus completely in the Firefox nightly builds.
Adblock Plus 1.8.7 for Chrome and Opera released · 122 days ago by Sebastian Noack
Install Adblock Plus 1.8.7 for Chrome
Install Adblock Plus 1.8.7 for Opera (Opera 17 or higher required)
This release only fixes an issue breaking Flash videos on Chrome 39 and Opera 26 (issue 1496). We initially addressed that issue only for Chrome 38 and Opera 25, assuming that Google fixes the Chrome bug that is causing this issue, before Chrome 39 is released. However, they didn’t yet, and it is rather unlikely that they will still fix it for Chrome 39, which is in beta now.
Note: We also released Adblock Plus 1.8.7 for Safari but there are no changes there compared to Adblock Plus 1.8.6.
