abp does not hide/block the elements

Post by oz. »

ABP for Safari does not hide the elements on thepiratebay.se


Use the search to reproduce, the ads are blocked but the white space not.



I have tried to use the "block element" feature but it does not work, it hides the element but if you refresh the page it appears back...


Thanks

I can't reproduce it in chrome (the extension is nearly the same)
Did you eventually uncheck the option Hide placeholders of blocked elements ? (ABP options)

No, It works fine in Firefox for me but not Safari...

can someone with Safari 8 confirm this issue?

Are you using the last dev build ?
devbuilds/adblockplussafari/00latest.safariextz

if even with the last dev does not work, file an issue on the bug tracker:

The fix is on the way, and will land in the devbuild as soon as the patch has been reviewed.

@mapx: Please note that the extension isn't as identical to Adblock Plus for Chrome and Opera, as you might think. While the UI and the code that processes the filters is the same, the underlying extension API is quite different, and we have a fair amount of platform specific code to abstract those differences. In this particular case, the abstraction code had to be adapted for a change in Safari 8.
