I do not work for Google, Yahoo, Ask or any other companiesРІР‚В¦Р”В¦. Who do you think is going benefit from your AdBlock? РІР‚вЂњ Microsoft.Р”Тђ. How do you think companies like Google can make money with out ads? (may be you are thinking subscriptions so Microsoft can come and kill who ever is charging subscriptions)Р”В¤. Are you a Microsoft employee or contractor or are they paying you?Р”Р€. I understand your AdBlock program and here are my commentsР”Сћ. I think that Zone Alarm Suite also has IE ad blocking. Of course, being filter driven, the filters had to be updated regularly. Before I switched to FF, maybe 18 months ago, I used to use a program called Filtergate (). There are many ad filtering and blocking programs for IE already, though most are not free.

do for Firefox.Р”Р„dblock Plus doesnРІР‚в„ўt block anything by default. If you so want, IEРІР‚в„ўs API corresponds to GeckoРІР‚в„ўs XPCOM API, whereas the rest corresponds to XUL hackingРІР‚В¦Р”Р„nyway, an acceptable and quite easy-to-use adblock solution for IE7 (and IE6) is contained in the Р“Сљber-package IE7pro, which does what Adblock Plus, Tab Mix Plus, Mouse Gestures, Super DragAndGo, Proxy Switcher, User Agent Switcher, etc.

Well, technically you could always ignore the interfaces and use core Win32 window/message hooks and subclassing to achieve interactions not available through the API. > Furthermore, these extensions can only communicate with the browser through predefined interfaces. they tend to break sites using XHTML (by cutting out something they make the webpage use invalid XML, the browser displays an error message then). This works most of the time but there are many issues РІР‚вЂњ e.g. Most ad blockers act as a local proxy and cut out anything matching a filter. There are certainly more sophisticated solutions. But I am not going to waste my time on that. Some people tried to create Adblock Plus clonesР’В - with large effort and less convincing results. But most donРІР‚в„ўt have a real user interface, you can only use predefined lists and cannot add your own filters (or it is complicated). Of course there are ad blocking solutions for Internet Explorer. Here in Germany Internet Explorer is steadily moving into a position of a minority browser - with a good reason. I switched to Mozilla four years ago and never looked back. And, personally, I donРІР‚в„ўt see any gain from supporting such an outdated browser. Even after working full-time on it for a few months you would only get a rather poor copyР’В - you just cannot have the same user-interface integration in Internet Explorer. This means that the effort of developing Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer would be very high, as well as nothing can be reused from the existing Adblock Plus for Firefox. Checking everything the browser loads before the browser loads it? Why would you want that? Go build a local proxy server.РІР‚Сњ РІР‚СљNew toolbar? Great! Context menu item? Should be doable. Furthermore, these extensions can only communicate with the browser through predefined interfaces.

Internet Explorer on the other hand requires binary plugins meaning that you have to use a compiled language like C++, this already increases the development effort by factor 10 at the very least (thatРІР‚в„ўs the main reason why there are only few really free Internet Explorer extensions). You can write extensions in XUL and JavaScript, this does not only allow extensions to be built fast but also makes sure that you can change virtually anything the browser does. Firefox is extensible, this is one of its very basic features. Internet Explorer is very different from Firefox. Fact is, this is extremely unlikely to happen, for various reasons. So I thought it would be worth answering in detail in my blog. I already answered that question several times but recently a few people asked me again to create an Adblock Plus version for Internet Explorer. Adblock Plus and (a little) more Adblock for Internet Explorer is not an option
