I'm playing with Bluhell on Firefox Australis Nightly. I'm not fanatic about blocking ads, and mostly just want to clean up ad heavy web sites. In limited tests, Bluhell has been effective and is lighter weight than the alternatives.One quirk, though: Australis just crashed, and a crash report was submitted. Mozilla.org sent an email acknowledging the report. Clicking on a link in the email caused Bluhell to spawn a page that looks like the standard Firefox blocked page screen stating it had been blocked for potential security vulnerabilities. Mozilla.org? Really?

I think Bluhell's really needs a whitelist with sites like Mozilla already on it.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.1-signed).

-- An AMO editor deleted your other reviews (expected), so i'll reply here ---

You're right, a url including "click" doesn't mean it's an ad server, but Bluhell isn't just an ad blocker. In fact, the extension started long ago as a privacy/tracking protection i used for my personal use, several months passed when i decided to include Easylist to block adverts.

The blocked page is just an improvement over the previous version, where when click.* domains were blocked a blank page was shown... obviously i got some complains from users so i changed it so that a click of a button would allow them to go to the page if they want to once warned.

Sure there will be more improvements, being a Whitelist at the top of the list. However, i'm afraid of implementing it since for that to work perfectly i'll need to keep track of every other sub/domain loaded by a website, which could slow down Bluhell considerably...

Btw, rather than submitting new reviews i think you can edit this one instead, if you want/need to...
