Wladimir as you've guessed from the posts earlier in this thread has also been in talks with rue and other Adblock developers and wanted to take Adblock down a more fast lightweight approach so is breaking away with a new version (now called Adblock Plus 0.6)...

Do people think the name of the new Adblock Plus version should be renamed...?

0.5 vs 0.6
I guess since 0.6 is moving forward with the real development, why isnt there a consensus to make adblock 0.6 feature parity with 0.5. While 0.6 does the job, there are options in 0.5 that make it more useful to use.
For example
1. An option to not show Adblock under Tools. With so many extensions, and each one putting itself up there, managability becomes a mess
2. An option for the location of Adblock on the statusbar.
3. Icon instead of text for Adblock. Space on statusbar is a premium and the lesser space occupied by extensions, the better.
4. Single click on Adblock shows existing filter on 0.6. However in 0.5 it showed what could be blocked on the page. Frankly, thats what is more important. When I'm on a page and I click on Adblock, I dont want to see what is already blocked but what can be blocked.
5. 0.6 uses a sidebar to show blockable items. While this is good, I prefer the dialog window as in 0.5. Also, The text is black for unblocked and gray for blocked I think. This is really hard to distinguish. Maybe red and black/green are better colors to go with.
my 2c. thanks

Because Wladimir doesn't like some of the features and some of them were buggy and didn't work well and weren't frequently used.

That would be nice, but for the moment you can use Menu Editor.

See the FAQ. Use Organize Status Bar.

Mm-hmm. That would be nice.

You use the drop-down next to the New filter box to see what can be blocked on the current page. But yes, that needs to be improved.

In one of the next versions, you'll be able to 'detach' the sidebar into a new window.

More like five or ten cents.
Since this is all related to Adblock Plus 0.6, you should've put it in the 0.6 thread. :\

Do poeple think the name of the new Adblock Plus version should be renamed to Adblock Lite since that fits better to where Wladimir is aiming his version a clean, fast, lightweight version. Or will this add to the confusion.
The name definitely needs to be changed unless "Adblock Plus" is orphaned by MCM to the extent of termination. By all means Adblock Plus 0.6x, as it stands now, is a lighter version of the original Adblock Plus 0.5x ). This one can be called "Adblock Plus Lite" instead since it removed some of the organization features that the original PLUS offered. For example, an option to not show Adblock under Tools menu, an option to show a compact icon instead of a wide text on the status bar (space is premium), an option to support websites (by downloading the ads but not displaying them onscreen), better organization of whitelists and support lists (separate lists for Whitelisted Sites and "Supported" websites), etc. If Wladimir Palant believes that his way of GUID will eventually lead to better performance, then he may call his version "Adblock Streamlined" or "Adblock Enhanced" instead to stave off the confusing nomenclature. Thanks MCM for asking.

Palant says he's sticking with the Plus, no debate. mcm_ham and rue are working on adblock a few words and some more
Both Adblock Plus 0.6 and Adblock are on addons.mozilla.org/ but if you still want the other Adblock Plus 0.5.11.2

Or just add it to the all-time best "clickbuster" that is probably the 4th most effective filter for me . . .

I tested mine on that site by the way, and it works. Think I'll keep as permanent addition - thanks for the find, ratchet! Didn't realize there was a "new click."
