These engines needed more work to bring them to maturity. Most of that work has not been ported back to HTTPSB. Actually, I am questioning doing so, for the sake of code sanity, I consider removing ABP-filtering engine from HTTPSB, so that both extension complement each other, and with a narrower purpose, they can focus on doing what they do more perfectly. Consider [this issue](/gorhill/httpswitchboard/issues/373) as a good example of how trying to do too many things lead to over-complicated software that I myself struggle to explain. Also, IMO a good way to sabotage a good piece of software is to turn it into a kitchen-sink tool.
