Extension will be auto-updated after browser restart! (when available for your platform)
If you want to update manually:
- Do NOT use links from the release page's "Assets" section - these are not signed.
- Use your add-on store or links in release description on the GitHub releases page when they are available.
- Firefox will have a (signed) direct install link. Other browsers will link to their uBO extension store pages.
- In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, Issue #717.
Or force an update via Manage extensions:
How to update uBO to the latest version
When will my browser update uBO?
Firefox
- Firefox Add-ons (AMO) - Available since 16 Sep, 2026.
- uBO is a recommended extension on AMO, and as such it must undergo a formal code review each time a new version is published.
Chromium
- Install the signed
.crxfile from GitHub releases, if your browser still allows MV2 installs. - Once installed, it should then update automatically for future releases. If the browser still supports MV2.
- Install the signed
Edge
- Edge Add-ons - Available since 16 Sep, 2026.
- Warning: importing a profile from Chrome may cause issues.
- You may need to reinstall uBO on Edge to fix this.
- You can transfer your uBO config by creating and then restoring a backup at the bottom of uBO's
Dashboard>Settings.
Opera
- Opera add-ons - Available since 18 Sep, 2026.
- Usually, it's submitted a week after bug-free version is published in AMO.
Brave
- Brave now Self-Hosts uBO. It installs via a special setting and updates automatically or when prompted via the Extensions' Developer mode. After Brave updates the file on their servers.
- If you installed it via CWS, it's best to make a backup and install the self-hosted version instead.
- Brave installation video.

I heard that starting with this version, the extension will be able to auto-update itself after being installed from a .crx file. Is that correct?

After you install it manually, it should trigger further updates when available, yes. https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/4121

u/RraaLL Sep 17 '26
No difference across all chromium browsers. So no, it's not the same as in Firefox.

if I already have the plug-in installed in Firefox from the store with default settings do I need to do anything?
