This is not a fact. This is a conspiracy theory. Indeed there was a bug on Chrome and Opera that re-enabled Acceptable Ads during an update. And of course it is tempting to believe that this was intended, given the controversy around Accept

Chrome has a webRequest API [1], that lets you block any request initiated by your browser. Adblock Plus is using that API, and blocks everything that it blocks on Firefox also on Chrome. But even on Safari Adblock Plus blocks requests load

Yes, you can in the options. Adblock Edge just disabled Acceptable Ads by default and removed that option from the UI. Also considering that Adblock Edge is less maintained, it's not worth using it instead of Adblock Plus, if you ask m

You can use LESS's nested syntax in order to generate prefixed CSS classes instead of nested CSS selectors, if you prefer them. That gives you the advantage of prefixed CSS classes, but you don't have to repeat the prefix and you

Ad networks doesn't pay for white listing! The article is little confusing (typical for German press). Certain ads on certain websites can get into the white list. So if somebody pays it is the company running the website. And smaller

Adblock Plus doesn't deal with ad companies. But with websites that have ads on their site. So if the kind and placement of ads on their website is "acceptable" they can get on the white list. The article in the link of this

I might got his message slightly wrong. However white listing is is a feature in the filter list format itself, that is used ever since by every ad blocker. So you can include third-party white lists or maintain your own with every ad block

This comparison implies that everybody can get their ads on that white list, for money. But that isn't true. There are guidelines that define what is acceptable ad and what not. [1] Everybody that gets on the white list has to conform

I just noted that Adblock Edge is still based on version 2.0.4 of Adblock Plus, which is outdated for a while. It seems that Adblock Edge isn't maintained anymore and probably never was. So Adblock Edge will probably get incompatible w

I don't think that you have any reason to feel disappointed, unless you have donated a significant amount of money to Adblock Plus. And even then, just disable that feature. After all that's the way Adblock Plus makes most of its

1. There was a user survey in 2009, whether users would like to have every ad blocked or would accept some ads to a certain degree. And the result was that around half of the users are fine with getting some ads: http://adblockpl

Why does somebody fork ABP, just to strip out a featere which can already be disabled in the options?

Except for the module creation you can easily add some very simple compatibility macros. I don't see how that would be different from your _compat module. However module creation can't be abstracted into a uniform macro in fact, because of

> If you have a C module written on top of the Python C API: shoot yourself. There is no tooling available for that yet from what I know and so much stuff changed. I don't agree with that one. I have added Python 3 support two years ago

I released several "Type 0" free and open source software in the past. And making people pay for using them, would be the worst I could have done. The software I release as FOSS, is basically stuff I would have coded anyway. But by releasin

I'm not sure if either approach would improve the results. Searching the introductions in additions to the list of ingredients, will rank recipes higher, when the ingredients you were searching for, occur more often in the instructions. But

They reset the timout everytime you type another letter. That approach seems to work quite well, unless you are a very slow typer. However I have just implemented another approach to deal with that issue. Now, the history is updated either
