Corrine Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 via Pale Moon Facebook post: The current temporary versions of AdBlock Plus and AdBlock Edge have been removed from the add-ons site due to clear requests from either product owner and clear indications of them not willing to support Pale Moon. We are working on providing you with our in-house maintained alternative as soon as possible (likely within a day) to replace both these extensions with one new solution called AdBlock Latitude (ABL). More information will follow when this is released to the public. comment by Matt Tobin, one of the developers: ABL will indeed make use of all your current Adblock Plus settings.. Though those users on Adblock Edge will have to reconfigure. There are plans in the future to change it to use its own settings and include some form of migration to translate ABP and ABE's prefs over to ABL specific.

Corrine Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 Adblock Latitude released!: Adblock Latitude (ABL), our in-house fork of Adblock Plus, has been released! If you are currently a user of Adblock Plus or Adblock Edge, you should switch to Adblock Latitude. The extension: Is a drop-in replacement for ABP and will pick up your ABP settings. Also replaces ABE, because it does not include the "acceptable ads" feature. Can still show acceptable ads if you wish it and wish to support the Internet economy, by enabling the relevant filter (under subscriptions) manually. Is only compatible with Pale Moon, version 25 (and later). Is able to communicate with ABP helper extensions like the Element Hiding Helper to extend its functionality. A few things to note when switching: If you switch from ABP to ABL, please uninstall ABP, install ABL, and then exit & re-launch your browser to update the extension data like display texts and icons properly. If you switch from ABE to ABL, please uninstall ABE as it will otherwise conflict with ABL. You will have to reconfigure the adblocker since it will not pick up ABE's settings. Please make a note of any custom filters and settings before you uninstall ABE. You can download the current version of ABL (3.0) from the add-ons website.

Guest LilBambi Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 It was awesome that they put up a list of INcompatible Firefox addons, so folks will know: https://addons.palemoon.org/firefox/incompatible/ Also, AdblockLatitude is compatible with Pale Moon 25, not the earlier 24 that only runs on XP now. And as we all know, XP should not be on the Internet anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrine Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 They are also doing their best to adapt extensions to work with Pale Moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) Excellent. Pale Moon would need it's own designation within extensions these days with the code variances. Edited November 23, 2014 by LilBambi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
