Adblocking & passwords

[descendent87]

Currently using the git version on archlinux. I've been following this
project for a while and it's getting much better with each release,
there are two things which are holding me back from replacing firefox
(but luckily I've noticed both are planned).
1. Adblocking, I've become so used to adblock that it really annoys me
when I don't have it. I've seen on the major projects page that it is
planned, any news on how it is going or rough idea on when it will be
ready? Also it would be great if arora had a feature like adblock's
element hider (hide some of those annoying ads on myspace/facebook
that refuse to go)
2. KDE Wallet integration (or any form of password saving), any new's
on how it's going?
Looking forward to both those being added (and extensions), arora is
quickly becoming my favourite browser.

Both features wont be in 0.9 but here is the status:

Password management:
Check out the icefox/autofill branch. It works and I am using it, but
is missing the kwallet integration (saves to disk right now),
autotests, and a few final tweaks. This will probably go in very
shortly after .9 and will be part of 1.0 as it is nearly done. The
KWallet integration will go in separately when it is ready which will
hopefully also be before 1.0. Please check it out and provide
feedback on what does or does not work as I have only tested it with
sites that I use.

AdBlock:
Check out icefox/adblock branch. This needs more work. Currently it
has a bunch of failing autotests, leaks memory and does not have
support for a number of features that adblock has, the biggest being
support for modifying the dom, all it does is block network fetches.
After autofill goes in I plan on spending the majority of my arora
effort on this.

Either this weekend or next version, 0.9. I belive both Password
Management and AdBlock will be in this version.

I've continued working on it, I've already fixed the testcases, implemented some missing functionalities, to properly support ^ and some other special characters. So my branch is in a little bit better shape :)

Fantastic, I will sync up with yours.
