Adblock Plus Adds Support For Firefox Mobile 4

Blocking obnoxious ads while browsing the web is something that I believe should come built-in to all browsers, or at least those on mobile devices with limited bandwidth. Although the beta version of Firefox 4 for Android (aka Fennec) released some time back, it was only yesterday that Adblock Plus released a development build for its seminal ad-blocking extension for the mobile version of Firefox.
According to the Adblock Plus devs, everything seems to be working smoothly, save for the following:
  • do-not-track support is not working; and
  • the number of synchronous requests needs to be reduced (on the to-do list)
Unfortunately, the user interface of ABP on the mobile version of Firefox is quite limited as you are only able to subscribe to one filter at a time. Hopefully, this will be improved in future builds.
Check out the installation page  for instructions on how to install a development build of Adblock Plus.
