Adblock Plus and other browser engines
- Problem:
Adverts are not removed when another add-on runs an alternative browser engine in Firefox.
- Affects:
All variants of IE Tab
Any other extension that runs an alternative browser engine inside Firefox
- Cause:
Adblock Plus relies on Firefox-specific functionality in order to control adverts, and the interfaces used to expose page data and thereby determine which items should be removed are different in other browsers, or in some cases entirely unavailable. This means that Adblock Plus is unable to retrieve any information about the loaded items on the page, and therefore cannot determine which should be removed.
- Solution:
The only way to allow Adblock Plus to interact with a web page is to ensure that the content is rendered in Firefox itself; no other engine is compatible.

I am afraid that none of the EasyList authors are particularly familiar with Google Chrome. I would therefore advise that you install the AdBlock for Chrome extension (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom) and, if necessary, request assistance from the project; however, as I understand it the program uses Adblock Plus syntax, and I therefore would suggest the filter ||box.anchorfree.net^.

adblock plus easylist (and probably more) works flawlessly for the Konquerer browser. then again, pretty much any browser plugin works on Konquerer

As I understand the browser, Konqueror has an in-built advert-blocking system that is not Adblock Plus, although it does replicate functionality of the add-on and use EasyList as the primary subscription.
