Welcome to the user interface repository for the Adblock Plus extension!
The main project is hosted on GitLab and, in addition to the user interface, the Adblock Plus extension also includes the Adblock Plus web extension code and core functionality.
Adblock Plus is a free extension that allows users to customize their web experience. Users can block annoying ads, disable tracking and lots more. It’s available for all major desktop browsers and for mobile devices.
Adblock Plus is an open source project licensed under GPLv3 and subject to its Terms of Use. eyeo GmbH is the parent company of Adblock Plus.
To contribute to this project, you'll need:
Node and npm
Important: Node should come installed with npm. If it doesn't, you can
download npm here.
Tip: If you're installing node in ArchLinux, please remember to install
npm, too.
If you want to build the Adblock Plus extension, please refer to the Adblock Plus for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera README for additional requirements.
After cloning this repository, open its folder and run npm install.
Specifications for Adblock Plus elements can be found in eyeo's spec repository.
These are pages that users primarily interact with because they are exposed to them via the browser's UI.
- Bubble UI (popup)
- Developer tools panel (devtools-panel)
- Options
- Desktop (desktop-options)
- Mobile (Firefox) (mobile-options)
These are pages that are dedicated to a specific feature and can be accessed via UI pages.
- Filter composer (composer)
- Issue reporter (issue-reporter)
These are pages that cannot be accessed via UI pages. They are either directly or indirectly opened by the extension under certain conditions.
- Day 1 (day1)
- First run (first-run)
- Problem (problem)
- Updates (updates)
These are pages that are part of another page. They are not meant to be shown on their own.
- Bubble UI dummy (popup-dummy)
- Proxy (proxy)
These are parts of the extension logic which are running alongside the other extension code in the extension's background process.
- Notifications
- Preferences
If you don't want to build the entire extension, you can open UI pages in a test environment using a local web server. This can be done by running npm start, which allows you to access the HTML pages under the URL shown in the terminal, e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8080.
Various aspects of the pages can be tested by setting parameters in the URL (see list of URL parameters).
Note: You need to create the bundles for the UI page(s) that you want to test.
Nightly builds for feature and release branches can be found on this page.
The ./test/unit folder contains various unit tests files. Those can be run
together with other tests via npm test or separately via npm $ test.unit.
The ./test/integration folder contains various integration tests files. Those
can be run together with other tests via npm test or separately via
npm $ test.integration.
The /test/smoke folder contains essential files to test custom elements in
isolation. As it's done for io-element, you need to add at least an
io-element.js test file and its io-element.html related page.
You can run npm run $ test:io-element.js to create the HTML page inside the
/smoke folder.
The ./test/end-to-end/tests folder contains various end-to-end tests. Run
npm run test:end-to-end -- -p EXTENSION_PATH in order to execute tests in the
latest stable Chrome browser, where EXTENSION_PATH is path to the extension
root folder. The ./test/end-to-end/config.js file contains paths and
descriptions of each executable test. In order to build the extension for
testing purposes please refer to the
building Adblock Plus documentation.
You can lint all files via npm run lint or lint only specific file types:
- JavaScript:
npm run $ lint.js - SASS:
npm run $ lint.css - Translation files:
npm run $ lint.locale
Note: Both eslint and stylelint can help fix issues via --fix flag.
You can try the example below via npx which should be automatically
included when you install npm.
npx stylelint --fix skin/real-file-name.css
Various files need to be generated before using the UI. When building the UI
for inclusion in the extension, this is achieved using npm run dist.
For usage in the test environment, you can run npm run bundle to
generate the various bundles for all UI elements or
npm run $ bundle.<page ID> to create only those that are necessary for a
specific UI page. Additionally, you need to run npm run $ bundle.mocks in
order to create the bundle for the mocks that are being used in the test
environment.
Beyond that, this repository contains various utilities that we rely on across our development process.
This project follows the typical GitLab process:
- Fork it.
