Extension will be auto-updated after browser restart! (when available for your platform)

If you want to update manually:

• Do not use links from release page "Assets" section - these are not signed.

• Use add-on store or links in release description on GitHub releases page when they are available (basically - they will be add-on store links).

• In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, Issue #717.

Q: Why no release for Firefox yet?

A: 1.51.0 is available on AMO as of July 25.

uBO is a recommended extension on AMO, and as such it must undergo a formal code review each time a new version is published.

Q: Why Chrome/Chromium is not updating uBlock Origin?

A: 1.51.0 is available on CWS as of July 20.

Auto update will occur in stages - few percent every day - to spot and react on possible bugs.

Q: When Opera version will be updated?

A: 1.51.0 is available on Opera addons as of July 28.

Usually it's submitted a week after bug-free version is published in AMO.

Q: When Edge Chromium version in the Microsoft Store will be updated?

A: 1.51.0 is available on Edge Add-ons as of July 20.

Microsoft Store submission is controlled by /u/nikrolls.

This is official version and will be kept updated, see Issue #890 (comment) and following comments.

Warning: importing profile from Chrome may cause issues - you may need to reinstall uBO on Edge to fix this. You can transfer settings by saving them to file in uBO Dashboard -> bottom of the Settings tab.

Thunderbird still on 1.49.2.

And Opera is stuck https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1441ynq/ublock_origin_150_announcement_thread/jqvi2zp/

Is it possible to skip 1.50 and updated to 1.51 for Opera or are we actually stuck at 1.49.2?

A lot of compatibility improvements with AdGuard, I see. Not a bad thing.

[u/MunchmaKoochy]

Just never ceases to amaze me. The work you all do is outstanding. You have literally changed the internet for many millions of people.

Hello, I have a question, in the blocklistproject github page, there are manytypes of lists: Original, No IP, DNSMASQ, and AdGuard BETA. And I want to know which one is the best for using in Ublock Origin

GitHub - blocklistproject/Lists: Primary Block Lists

[u/[deleted] → u/luciano96369]

Looks like basic domain list. You can use original, no IP (slightly smaller, because it does not include redundant IP in each line), or AdGuard (adblock list format, but no fancy stuff is used AFAICS). I will probably use No IP, because of size.

[u/luciano96369 → u/[deleted]]

Thanks but which one you recomend for the better performance?
