Adblock Plus (ABP) is a content-filtering and ad blocking extension for Mozilla Firefox (including Firefox for mobile), and Google Chrome web browsers. ABP, a forked version of Adblock, allows users to prevent page elements, such as advertisements, from being downloaded and displayed. The ABP syntax is also supported by Midori through an extension.
Like Mozilla's built-in image blocker, Adblock blocks HTTP requests according to their source address and can block iframes, scripts, and Flash. It also uses automatically generated user stylesheets to hide elements such as text ads on a page as they load instead of blocking them, known as element hiding.
