Cheater.

I already replaced the roaches with my own buttons and installed it over the top of the old one for a change.

Working fine but we already knew that.

And here's the best part (at least to me). Try this ... I made a couple of 'subscribe' links on my forum (not to mean that you should use my filters ... just a new feature example):

Why would I want to subscribe again?

I know you need an ego massage.

Actually, this feature makes it easier for other filter-makers who are NOT included with the Adblock Plus install (and for my element filter). These filter links can work from anywhere ... for anyone.

@ Lanik:

As close as I work with the ADP project, someone here ALWAYS beats me to the release on this forum (as GK will attest).

This time, I was determined . I happened to be reading a post on the ADP forum when Wladimir posted that he had released it right in the topic that I was reading.

Yay for me!

Haha yay for you, Rick! I happened to be busy elsewhere so it was wide open for ya!

Exciting to hear about the abp: subscription links. Good idea as Custom Buttons does something similar for toolbar buttons.

I was just razzing you.

I am surprised the Element Filter has not been added to the subscription choices for the default install.

I can think of a couple of reason why they would not be for everyone but I have yet to run into any site issues.

Wladimir is a bit nervous about promoting ANY element filters at all because the false-positives can usually only be tracked down by the authors ... they don't show up in the 'blockable items' list and generally, give you absolutely no clue that something is being blocked (actually elements are only hidden).

I think he is a bit afraid that people will blame the ADP program for blocking things that are not his fault ... it happens all the time already just for regular ads.

Unfortuately for Wladimir (and for me) people usually blame the program and/or the filters a LOT of times for things that are almost always the user's fault in the end. They usually include bad filter additions ... filter lists not supported by us ... people using the other Adblock/Adblock Plus versions ... (and my favorite) people who blame ABP for blocking EVERYTHING because they checked the 'Allow images from the originating site only' box in Firefox.

I don't think Wladimir needs the '3rd dimension' of trying to explain an errant element block that he endorsed. That would be MY job!

I hear you and know what you are getting at.

Installed, Plus is definitely better than the standard adblock.

Even the default filter subscriptions do a good job (blocks most ads, blocks intellitext, etc).. I haven't gotten around to trying out the Filterset updater extension, but I really don't even think I need it.
