Where are configuration options located?

Post by 1675432 »

I'd like to report that this page en/tutorials has no section covering IE.
Anyway, there are no settings under Tools > Manage Addons aside from only to disable and enable the plugin. I'd like to know how to configure AdBlock Plus on IE with regard to trackers and 'acceptable ads'.

If you don't see the Acceptable Ads option, that means it's still not implemented, so it works as if it were implemented and then got turned off.

The configuration interface for IE is still not fully developed, but ABP for IE still uses patterns.ini files just like the Firefox extension, so a workaround is to set it up in Firefox and copy the file over to where ABP for IE stores its patterns file.
There's a buzzin' in my brain I really can't explain; I think about it before they make me go to bed.

Do you see the ABP icon on the status bar ?
Click it, settings, and there you can check "allow some non intrusive advertising"
