Re: Adblock Plus 0.7.1.2 Released
As everybody already knows there are two Adblock Pluses, Wladimir's and the other one. I couldn't decide so I run Adblock Plus 0.7.1.2 on one XP account and Adblock Plus 0.5.11.4 on another. If 0.7.2 does in fact come out fumigated, I'll likely use it across the board. Thanks for heads up!

said by rick752  :(and my favorite) people who blame ABP for blocking EVERYTHING because they checked the 'Allow images from the originating site only' box in Firefox.  That option has been eliminated in the branch's new options panel they are working on. Thank GOD!! It messes up to many sites to be of value. But you can still use it by setting a prefs in about:config (I think I read you could anyway).
I'm sure you already know this, but I thought I'd post it anyway.. mostly because I'm happy about it.  |

I don't know Scott, you may be right. On the other hand, Easylist USA, to me, is like an infusion of 'new blood', so to speak.   |

You are correct and a user can change it in about:config.

Very very nice extension -- just discovered it. I just replaced all my Filterset.G+Adblock setups with this.
I've been playing around with the element filter, and so far I haven't had trouble with it.

Thanks for heads up! Just a quick summary of what the Adblock Plus 0.5 version DOSEN'T do.
* It doesn't allow multiple filters to exist separately and work in harmony.
* It doesn't allow FULL element hiding.
* It doesn't run as efficently as 0.7.
* It doesn't allow 'enable/disable' buttons for any INDIVIDUAL filter string or subscription list.
* It doesn't get 'feature' developements anymore ... only bug patches.
MCM's Adblock Plus 0.5 series was a terrific upgrade to the original, but he has since passed it off to Wladimir Palant .. who (unlike the others now) has been working his butt off on it almost everyday and has improved the whole adblocking thing immensely .. that is EXACTLY why I took my EasyList filters to HIM!
His ADB 0.7 is the best! .. and the only one being updated on a consistent basis

Put the two of you together on this thing, and it's akin to an unstoppable force of nature. A thing extremely powerful, yet incredibly beautiful in its grace and simplicity.
I think I'm getting a bit misty-eyed. |

I sure do like that extension, though. Along with your list, of course! I again thank both of you! |
