I have just finished modifications and release of my completely toolkit based fork of ABL 3.5 for Pale Moon 27+.

Binary Outcast is proud to announce the availability of ABPrime on the Pale Moon Add-ons Site. Here: http://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/abprime/

If you would like to contribute the repository is here: https://github.com/binoc-central/abprime

It provides complete blocking upon browser start at the minor cost of increased overall startup time depending on the amount of filter subscriptions you chose to have loaded. It also provides a higher degree of memory stability over bootstrapped incarnations of the source codebase.
Right now I'm preferring uBO because I can easily add my own rules, e.g. to block youtube. Can I do this with ABPrime, too?

And (if this has already been explained somewhere, please just tell me the link) the quote above states "complete blocking upon browser start", what does that mean in comparison to ABL and others?
My impression was that first the html document itself is downloaded, and then either all links to blocked elements are removed before it is "executed" (the page is rendered and further linked elements are fetched), or that the page is rendered and while this is done, connections to fetch blocked elements are blocked. If any of this is true, how would blocking at browser start make a difference?
Sorry if any of this is bogus, I'm a total noob in the matter, but I know that html documents do not contain certain things like e.g. images, these must be fetched via a href-directive.

ABPrime 1.0.3 was released today.. I have added experimental Basilisk support.. Also rewrote the page on the Add-ons Site.

Do note if you use this on Basilisk you will have to update manually because Basilisk does not (yet?) have any Add-ons Site infrastructure of its own..

Thank you for the continued work Tobin. I use ABPrime on ~5 machines and have been very happy with it!

Some people are reporting the Easylist + chinalist filter subscription is causing crashes with ABL on Pale Moon.. Can anyone test to see if ABPrime is affected? It is somewhere on the forum.

Catch up cause I didn't actually post here...

ABPrime WAS updated to 1.0.4 to revamp the subscription list to include defaults from EasyList directly not from Adblock Plus..

The default subscription filter lists are as follows:
  • EasyList
  • EasyPrivacy
  • Fanboy's Annoyance List
  • Fanboy's Social Blocking List
and NOW!! ABPrime has been updated to 1.0.5 to remove some unused files as well as put the toolbar button on the navigational toolbar by default. (People requested this off and on). Additionally, because I removed the code that detects the Firefox 4 Add-on Bar (our toolbar that is used as a statusbar), THE REAL TRUE Pre-Firefox 4 statusbar icon now works again!

Current users of ABPrime shouldn't notice much else.. The toolbar button should stay where you last put it.

Reminder to everyone.. All support related questions or issues should be directed to the GitHub Issue Tracker @ https://github.com/binoc-central/abprime/issues

ALSO, ABPrime is compatible with the Basilisk Browser as of 1.0.3.. But you WILL have to update manually until we get Basilisk an Add-ons Site mode on Phoebus.

The GitHub repository above seems to have been archived. I'm looking for the correct place to submit an issue for Adblock Prime. Any ideas?

Edit: Never mind, I found what I was looking for in Tobin's signature. There are repository and support links here: http://binaryoutcast.com/projects/abprime/
