Say goodbye to the "cockroach".
Looks like the "cockroach" icon for Adblock Plus will be no more ... thanx to some nice icon-artwork by 'efdur' at the Adblockplus forum. Good job efdur.

You go, Wladimir

Thank god!!! I couldn't read the cockroach debates without thinking of Hotel Rwanda.

I have no need for Adblock in Thunderbird, but I know people have been asking about it since the days of the original Adblock.

Please drop a line here if you have tried it in Tbird and let us know how it works. This is cool stuff, Wladimir ... I like the icons much better too.

Might have to make a new Tbird list, hey?

I doubt it, it's mostly useful for using RSS feeds in Thunderbird because Thunderbird follows the links and renders the same pages Firefox would render. It's part of the reason I don't like Thunderbird for RSS, but I digress. The point is that Thunderbird is rendering the same pages Firefox is so the same lists should work fine in both. Unless the element filter syntax changed dramatically, although i don't see why it would.

@ VF:

Yeah, you're probably right.

I've never used an rss reader, so I don't know what comes in with them.
