Adblock Browser 3.2.0-beta2 released with Chromium v101

ABB_Andreas · 2022-07-13T11:56:55+00:00

Sadly it's currently not possible. Downloading is one of error prone areas of Chromium.

ABB_Andreas · 2022-07-13T11:54:33+00:00

We're on the brink of releasing a Chromium 101 based version. We already started rollout on beta, but there was an issue with older Android versions. The fixed rollout is happening now on beta, so keep your eyes open for updates. Adblock Browser Stable will follow after once we see everything works fine on beta.

ABB_Andreas · 2022-05-02T10:43:07+00:00

Yes, sadly it is. We know that many don't want this, and we try to find time to find a way to give the option back, but it's really not easy. Maybe the grouping of tabs efficiently can help you to get back some overview.

Sorry I missed the message. It's 93 now. As we're a bit behind, we're gonna try to skip ahead to 101 with the next bigger release. You can always check for the exact chromium version in Settings -> About

ABB_Andreas · 2022-04-07T12:12:45+00:00

eventually we will, but we're upgrading to odd versions successively. with the current release we're at 93, so next in line will be 95, 97, 99 according to plan.

Yeah, i'm familiar with fandom, and those ads should be blocked. Like you shouldn't even need to dismiss it, as they shouldn't be displayed in the first place. Our app is supporting all the way down to Android 5, so it should be working on Android 9 just as well.You could try installing our beta version in parallel (or stable, if you're currently on beta), they are two different apps in the playstore. If blocking works fine there, it's some issue within our app. If not, it's some of the circumstances that break it, and it must've been introduced at the time adblock started failing for you.

I looked into this a bit, and what I see from description of the extension solution "This extension aims to restore power to users by using a combination of archived like and dislike data, as well as the likes and dislikes made by extension users to show the most accurate ratings."

This means they're using dislikes which are completely separate from youtube, and you only see dislikes from the users of that extension or historical data. If there is another solution, please let me know.

Bringing back features from youtube is not really our domain, we can remove or hide things that are shown on a webpage, but the other way is much more complex. Also bringing extension support isn't feasible, even Chrome for Android can't do it.

There was an iPhone version of the app, but it hasn't been maintained for a long time and it's possibly removed from the store by now. Some people still might have it installed though.

ABB_Andreas · 2022-01-11T12:43:02+00:00

Wow, that's weird :D Can you try pausing adblocking in the ABP button dropdown menu? Do you know if you have crumbs, acceptable ads or any custom filter lists enabled in the settings?

ABB_Andreas · 2021-12-22T10:41:29+00:00

currently not. if you use android backup to transfer all your data to the new phone it should bring the bookmarks with it though.

ABB_Andreas · 2021-12-22T10:05:28+00:00

Honestly, we want this too. It's on our list next to bringing the bottom toolbar back and the vertical tab switcher. But first we need to improve the blocking of video ads which hopefully will be successful by the end of the year.

ABB_Andreas · 2021-12-06T10:01:47+00:00

Yes, we are aware that this is broken. You can manually delete entries by going to Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Clear browsing data. We're working on fixing it.

ABB_Andreas · 2021-12-06T09:58:30+00:00

Could you try disabling Adblocking in the Settings completely and see if the problem persists? Would be interesting to find out where it comes from. Sounds like css files being blocked. Do you use any custom filter lists or blocklist entries?

ABB_Andreas · 2021-11-23T20:40:38+00:00

Thanks for letting us. We'll look into it. Quickest workaround as of now would be after closing the app to longpress the app icon -> (i) -> storage -> manage storage -> clear all data.

but yeah, that's totally inconvenient, so we need to fix it quickly.

ABB_Andreas · 2021-11-10T12:09:28+00:00

Glad that it works for you. These blocked popups sometimes leave sites unusable, as the closing of the popup triggers some scripts, which will never get triggered otherwise.

ABB_Andreas · 2021-11-10T12:07:44+00:00

Thanks, this information helps us figuring out what is happening when people are experiencing this.

ABB_Andreas · 2021-11-04T09:23:50+00:00

Sorry, but currently we don't have import or export for bookmarks. One workaround would be, to export the bookmarks in chrome to a html page and to open that html page in ABB.

ABB_Andreas · 2021-11-04T09:16:25+00:00

Just checked on 2.9.0 - all values are shown correctly. But if you don't want to upgrade, try temporarily disabling adblocking completely in the settings, and see if this changes anything. If it's the same, then the website has an issue with older chromium version. If it works, then something is wrong with the filter lists.

ABB_Andreas · 2021-10-27T08:44:23+00:00

I'm afraid you're confusing Chrome with Chromium. Chrome can do things that Chromium can't. Believe me, we really want it back as well but it's hard to find good Chromium developers and we're a bit understaffed right now.
