Talk:Adblock Plus

Consider a Update To the article
Adblock plus has just updated their crome version this Christmas day (25-dec-2019) Bossburns (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:04, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

Lead developer
The article is still listing me as lead developer of Adblock Plus. I'm currently not, and I haven't been for years. I'm not sure a label like "Lead developer" even makes sense at this project size any more. If anything, CTO of eyeo GmbH is Felix H. Dahlke. --Wladimir Palant (talk) 08:58, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

What is "rue?"
It is mentioned three times without a definition, as if it were a thing, rather than a verb synonymous with "regret." Activist (talk) 18:37, 27 March 2020 (UTC)


 * The online username of a former developer. I hope the wording is more clear now.Rjjiii (talk) 06:06, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

General audience
Nobody in the 'general audience' will understand the following:

Basic filter rules can include wildcards represented by asterisks (*). Sites and objects can be whitelisted with filters that start with two at signs (@@). Regular expressions delimited by slashes (/) can be used. Adblock Plus also supports a more-sophisticated syntax that gives fine-grain control over filters.[35] An example of the sophisticated filtering would be wikipedia.org##div#centralNotice, which will hide the centralNotice element used by Wikipedia to display donation requests.

Wildcards? Objects? Whitelisted? Regular expressions? Element? And what's up with all the punctuation?

I'll try to remember to take a stab at it, but if anyone else wants a go, please do.
