Block Element / Right-Click Not Available

Post by KCCoff »

Basic disclaimer: I am VERY low-tech!

Normally when I right click on ABP's button I get a drop-down menu that includes "Block element." I choose the ad element that has suddenly appeared on the page and it's automatically added to my "block" list.

The "Block element" option has vanished, though the basic drop-down menu seems normal.

How can I update or recover ABP so the convenient "Block element" option appears on the list again?

There are some pages which cannot support such feature. Which is the page ?

The website I was on is neopets.com - ordinarily I don't have a problem. I've tested a couple other sites - wikipedia, thefreedictionary - and the menu "Block element" option does not appear on any of them, on any ads (I'd thought at first maybe an individual ad / company had some kind of "block the blocker" going, but apparently not).

It has simply disappeared. I've updated ABP (which seemed to be up-to-date, but I ran "update" anyway just in case) and I've made sure "Allow non-intrusive ads" is unticked - that is, not to allow any advertising - just in case that was causing a problem.

So... what to try next?

right click on ABP button ?

if you have ABP (and not AB), you have to (left) click ABP icon, then click "block element"

neopets is working fine, I see "block element"

Thank you - we'll ascribe it to a brain glitch! O.o

I have ADP, LEFT click on the menu ribbon icon to get to "Block Element."

I have noticed that "Block Element" is not available on some sites (gundigest.com/gear-ammo/annealing-brass-for-reloaders-firing-up-your-cases-lifespan).

Can sites now code their pages to reject/block ADP's "Block Element?"
