Just discovered that Thunderbird allows to use adblock. I would love to see it in Kmail too. Blocking adds and tracking stuff while still being able to have a look at HTML-mails sounds like a good idea. Since adblock is already part of KDE used in Konqueror and Rekonq, would it be possile just to actived and configure it in Kmail too? I am not sure if it is already used in Kmail since I guess Kmail uses either webkit oder KHTML to display HTML-mails. If so, some configuration in Kmail would make sense which for example would allow to temporally deactivate it on per site/sender basis. Reproducible: Always
We can't use it, we use directly kwebview which doesn't support it. Regards
Does it make sense then to reassign this to Kwebview or isn't it designed for something like adblock?
no I don't think that it's for kwebview directly. it's implemented in kwebkitpart. After that moving in kwebview will good but don't know if it's possible

Fixed in 4.12. I added a lot of features compares to rekonq settings etc. I will continue to implement it until 4.12 Regards
Great, thanks for doing this.
Not sure how much demanding this would be, but it would be great to port adblock to webengine. It would be neat to have it in kmail and akregator (as well as konqueror)
