Hi,

I just want to clarify that it is not my intension to make the plugin itself or the contributer or the package maintainer bad with my initial post. I love the adblock plkugin and I'm sure I can get it work with a little tuning and the good descriptions from this board.

But I understood that the extras repository is a place for end users. User who don't be familiar with xterm and things like prefs.js or about:config to enable something. Also one of the core features of the extension is to select a bunch of filter rules as subscription. If microb does not allow me to do that a dialogue during the installation would be great. Or also a test site where I clearly can see if the plugin works or not.

Whatever, these points are nice to have and it would be a good idea to discuss these enhancements and also the bugs (also these ones which affect only a few users).

All I want is end user friendly software in extras. But if the community says AdblockPlus is already end user friendly please don't remove it. But than also think about "rules" like written down on this page: http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras-testing/QA_Checklist

Those "rules" are worthless if some of the applicatiions don't care about. There is a check list and I try to fill the form for AddblockPlus:

1. [ ] Bug database exist.
FAIL: no database exists and no database requested for bugs.maemo.org
2. [?] Licensing ok.
Don't kow much about this stuff but should be fine beacuse it also is an extension for other mozilla browsers
3. [x] No illegal/dubious content.
4. [?] Working provided features.
For "the main part of the community" yes. For me "no".
5. [ ] No missing announced features.
Most people know the feature set of adblock plus. For microb there are no features. Just install it and block the stuff already provided in the filter file.
6. [x] Optification ok.
7. [?] No performance problems.
See some postings above. There is somebody who thinks there could be issus.
8. [x] No power management issues.
9. [x] No known security risks.

The last point is that there are more than one possibility o install it. If I read the thread right you can install it using gthe application manager OR you can download it as normal plugin from mozilla.org and install it in this way. If both installations have the same result everything would be fine.

Ciao jukey
