Option to disable counter
Although it's cool to have the "badge", I don't really like having numbers there... especially on youtube, it goes up to 300+ easily. An option to disable that would be pretty cool.
I guess I could add it to the "Convenience" section. I know some other blockers out there have this settings.
How do other users feel about this?

I'm not annoyed by those figures - quite the contrary. An option to hide them is unnecessary, IMHO. And possibly counterproductive: If an unexperienced user hides them he/she might not notice that, e.g., an ABP rule prevents a site to work properly.
There are certainly way more important things worth to be added to HTTPSB. Just my personal opinion ...
If you mean the entire button, you can't do that, there wouldn't be any way to access the extension for a certain page.
Yeah, I'm using HTTPB like an adblocker, "just block it, nothing more".. so that is fitting for me. Not sure about others.

Unrelated to the issue, but just curious... In the wizard, did you select "Allow all / block exceptionally" or "Ad blocker-like"?
Ad blocker-like. I know you're totally against their "Acceptable ads" thing, but I also pasted the whole file thing into the whitelist textarea (it fixes problems with german video sites).

I'm for users doing whatever they want to do, in the spirit of informed consent/informed dissent, so I do not mind you using the whole "Acceptable ads" content in HTTPSB.
That said, I can't include the "acceptable ads" list in HTTPSB as a built-in option however because this list exists only as a business plan for a particular company, it does not exist first and foremost to serve users' interests, while HTTPSB's sole purpose is to serve users' interests.
Yeah, I think the same about that, but it is more convenient for me to just paste that and therefore to support sites (without having my vision disrupted) I visit [german tech sites] instead of manually reviewing every ad and whitelisting.
