Greetings Chris, > Nope, I didn't miss it, I was just holding back. ...
Of course of course, it was intended as a "question on notice", a "just put it at the back of the queue" thing. You've all got _lots_ of core code up in the air, fundamental stuff, it's most impressive. You're also way ahead of the other non-gui browsers, as far as I know. (Indeed hopefully they will be able to reuse your JS and DOM work ...) > How does it work in the mainstream browsers, exactly? I'm no expert at all, but I just installed adblock-plus on my debian stable iceweasel, and it has improved my quality-of-life. See: https://adblockplus.org/en/about#workings prompt> aptitude show xul-ext-adblock-plus New: yes State: installed Automatically installed: no Version: 2.6.6+dfsg-1 Maintainer: Debian Mozilla Extension Maintainers <[email protected]> Architecture: all Uncompressed Size: 2,665 k Enhances: iceape, icedove, iceweasel Provides: adblock-plus, iceape-adblock-plus, icedove-adblock-plus, iceweasel-adblock-plus Description: advertisement blocking extension for web browsers Adblock Plus is a content-filtering extension for Iceweasel, Firefox, SeaMonkey, and several other apps; it allows users to prevent webpage elements, such as advertisements, from being downloaded and displayed. On the first run, Adblock Plus will ask you if you want to subscribe to a filter list, which is automatically updated and blocks a lot of common advertisements. Additional filters can be added at will, and it's also possible to use wildcards in order to block e.g. all images or JavaScript files from specific servers or directories. Homepage: http://adblockplus.org/ ... implemented-in::ecmascript ... Perhaps it even could be possible to hook adblock-plus into edbrowse ... eg: edbrowse-adblock-plus ? But I have no idea what's involved. > I'm sure that whenever we can browse very "rich" dynamic sites > with edbrowse, online advertising is going to be a problem. It'll have to be tackled eventually, just like spam filters for email. > The only thing stopping us from building it into edbrowse will be > lack of developers. I can't volunteer, I'm sorry :-( I'm getting a bit old, and maintaining too many things already.
