Adblock 0.5.3.043

Once installed, its a snap to filter elements at their source-address. Just right-click: Adblock: done.

Adblock filters use either the wildcard character or full Regular Expression syntax. Hit the status-element and see what has or hasnt been blocked.

A selected filter can be edited by double-clicking or pressing enter. To remove it, press delete. New filters can also be added here or directly in the web-page: just right-click an ad and choose the Adblock option. For plugins, an Adblock-tab will appear atop or below the media: just click the "Adblock" text.

[Note: if you encounter a plugin, but dont see the Adblock-tab, dont worry -- the plugin is just cropped. Adblock has this covered. Choose "Overlay Flash" from the tools-menu, or type its shortcut. Now, you can directly click the overlay.]

Adblock supports two types of filters: simple, and Regular Expression.

A simple-filter is just a string of text with one or more wildcards (*). Regular expressions are much more complex, allowing precise control over filtering. In Adblock, as in all javascript, regular expressions must begin and end with the forward-slash: /. This page doesnt have enough space to include a RegExp tutorial, so for more info, head here.
