So there seems to be no adblock extensions. What did I do wrong?

Best regards

I would also love to have this extension. Without it I find epiphany unusable.

Unfortunately, it looks like this extension is not bundled with the official Epiphany extensions:

http://projects.gnome.org/epiphany/extensions

It's not on the list. But some other distros have it.

There is such an extension in Seamonkey and Firefox, so I use those two browsers at the moment.

Yeah, I just upgraded to Epiphany 2.30.2 with Epiphany-extensions 2.30.1 from Epiphany 2.26.3 with
Epiphany-extensions 2.26.1 and my Ad Block extension just disappeared. That's why I came here looking to see if anyone else had this problem. It was working great in 2.26 and now it's gone. It looks like for some reason it became a casualty of the WebKit transition. Hopefully it will come back. It made Epiphany one fast little browser on low end hardware. Firefox just runs too slow for me and Chromium takes too long to download and compile.

The same situation. We need ad-block extension for epiphany

If it was only an adblock issue...
This version is crippled by so much bugs and usability regressions that I will probably go back to firefox...
