by sugarcoookie, 7 years agoI've enjoyed adblock for many years, but version 3 is terrible. The new version is so striped down, it's missing every useful tool from the old adblock. Element hider is gone, and while you can still click on elements, you can't use the short cuts that I used almost every day, like the "narrower"/"wider" keyboard shortcuts. You can no longer see blockable elements on a page. Supposedly there is a way to see them, but it didn't work and it was much more difficult to get to. Don't even bother with this version - look for 2.99.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoBlockable items list has been replaced by a Developer Tools panel - press Ctrl+Shift+I (Cmd+Option+I on macOS) to open Developer Tools, then switch to the Adblock Plus panel. A more obvious way to open it would be great but sadly currently not possible (we filed a Firefox bug on that a year ago). You might need to reload the page, requests performed before the panel was opened aren't being displayed. As to Element Hiding Helper, it's sadly not possible to make it compatible with Firefox 57 but we want to incorporate parts of its functionality in Adblock Plus later.
