Request: List blocked items on this page

Post by _Sam_ »

It'd be nice if ABP would provide a list of what is blocked on the current page. Right now it lists just the number (x out of y) but doesn't say exactly what was blocked.

Even nicer would be if the ABP icon in the status bar would change when it block stuff (say grey normally, red when blocked).

Thanks,

Sam

The tooltip is only a summary - for the full information you have to click the toolbar icon or press Ctrl+Shift+B.

Changing the icon when something is blocked wouldn't be too useful - there is hardly a website where nothing is blocked.

When I click it adblock plus brings up the preferences page which shows the active rules. It does not show a list of items on the current page that were blocked, which is what I'm requesting.

Thanks,

That's what the status bar icon shows by default, yes (http://adblockplus.org/en/preferences#d ... sbaraction). Either change this preference or use the right mouse button and choose "Open blockable items" from the menu.
