[Extension] Adblock Plus - Disabling 'Hide placeholders'Removed "Hide placeholders of blocked elements" optionAdblock Plus Development Blog - 2014-12-11 - by Sebastian Noackquote: Disabling the "Hide placeholders of blocked elements" option in the menu (Firefox) or in the General section of the options page (Chrome, Opera, Safari) had the effect that placeholders were shown for elements which didn't load because of Adblock Plus. The purpose of this feature was to see when something was blocked on a webpage. However, the results couldn't be relied on because it didn't have any effect on hidden or generally invisible elements. Also, in Chrome, Opera and Safari there is now the icon badge indicating the number of blocked requests (coming to Firefox as well soon).
Therefore, we decided to remove the option from the user interface (issue 1670 and 1671). This change is now visible in the development builds (Adblock Plus 2.6.6.3881 for Firefox and Adblock Plus 1.8.8.1285 for Chrome, Opera and Safari) and will be included in the upcoming releases, i.e. Adblock Plus 2.6.7 for Firefox as well as Adblock Plus 1.8.9 for Chrome, Opera and Safari.
So far the option has only been removed from the user interface, and you can still have placeholders show up... continue reading.
