Jeff,

This was just a simple work around I found and wanted to inform people about since SO many people expressed an interest in the HULU problem with Ad's since last Sept. (about 5 months worth of complaints so far and counting) and I haven't heard anyone express an interest in a "New Toolbar" which you seem to be working on BUT I'm sure it will be important when it rolls out even as people wait for a Hulu.com FIX?

Just trying to help everyone with what I learned,

Steve

The toolbar is a replacement for the browser extension system which safari and chrome lacked.

chrome now has 20% of the market share and they've been asking for a browser add-on for ages now.

hulu.com while an important site is only one site, and will be fixed eventually.

we have limited resources and have to prioritize.

we have many plans for the toolbar. it's one of the most important updates we've ever done.

Jeff,

I use Chrome 100% as my ONLY browser and will await your Toolbar/Extension!
Enough said!

Jeff,

I have Ad Muncher V4.93 Beta build 33053/3945 using Google Chrome Build 18.0.1025.39 beta-m

Where is the toolbar/extension exactly, I don't see it?

CTRL or SHIFT + right click.

So, you're prioritizing for the 20%, and the 80% that are left have to grin and bare it? List some of these many plans, please.

A pop up is a pop up. I'm going to have to find an ad blocker that can block AdMucncher.... :lol:

The main reason I purchased A license was for Hulu ad blocking. Please re-prioritize.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

It's not a simple matter of adding a filter.

We have to debug the ads and figure out what new abilities need to be added to Ad Muncher.

We are in the middle of some big changes so it's not possible to add such changes right this second.

As soon as it is possible HULU will be given our full attention.

Please be patient. Once again we will do what no one else can and HULU will be cracked again. :)

Not many are going to buy another license unless you get Hulu fixed.. I really don't see any capabilities that Ad Block Plus can't already do for free for web browsing..

People buy your program for things they can't get elsewhere. Pay attention to your cash cow first before the competition takes it away from you. Your toolbar stuff won't bring you sales. Sorry to be blunt but you are either dodging this because you can't do it and you don't want to admit it or you really think this isn't important.

Look at the forum, this is the only thread with 6+ pages and over 6k views. That right there should be proof to you that this is priority #1.

The only reason we haven't done it yet is because we are in the middle of other changes to Ad Muncher.

hulu will require some new features so we aren't in a place to add those yet.

We will get to it as soon as possible.

Please bear with us.

You are very correct, but sadly they don't get it. I for one will not re-up my license.
