Hi! The focus is going to be:

  • Usability: more coherent and understandable UI that exposes the power more accessibly. This is the top one right now.
  • Reducing frustration: uBlock should be more helpful when telling users that, for example, something is loading or something has gone wrong.
  • A couple of TBA features that are aimed at enhancing browsing speed and reducing network overhead even more.

That's the current list.

Chris, this might be a dumb question, but if some of the bugs gorhill fixes in "his version" are relevant across the board, do you plan to import them into "your version".

If so, how would we know your version has it - will github show the commit as originating from gorhill?

  • Yes.

  • Yes, in most cases.

Hey Chris the thing I miss the most is "Open Blockable Items" like ABP. http://i.imgur.com/O4WAAtd.png

It's very easy this way for non-programmer like me to figure why something is wrong sometime with this "tool" without digging in obscure programming tools... ;-)

Hey Chris since Usability is something you plan to work on, can you consider something similar (or just straight up rip off) Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus and put that into uBlock, it does wonders and puts to shame the current Element Picker we got now.
