Adblock Plugin

Dear all,

Is this the appropriate list to ask about or post patches for the
adblock plugin (currently in KDE4 extragear)?

I've found this plugin very useful for a long time, but feel that it
could do with some attention.  In particular, making it possible to
add more than one entry at a time from the "Blockable items" dialogue,
update the list of blocked items as filters are added there, and allow
blocking of iframe's.  I've already implemented these and find the
blocker a lot more usable, should I post the patch here before
committing?

There are some other adblock bugs that I'd like to address,
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189563 (default button action in
the KCM) and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=150934 (show which
filters have caused an item to be blocked).  The second of these would
be extremely useful, and I've already prototyped a tooltip GUI for it,
but getting the matched filter information would need some additions
to KHTMLSettings which would need care to remain BC.

Regards,
  Jonathan
