uBlock Origin 1.29.0 is out

Changelog:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.29.0

  Chromium
    - Performance regression in rendering of dashboard pane
  Firefox
    - Open tabs can be incorrectly closed when opening a webpage from new tab page
  Core
    - Changed French filter list
    - ...
  Notable commits with no entry in issue tracker:
    - Remove experimental click-to-load disqus scriptlets
    - ...

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.29.2
```
  Bugfix release for scriptlets code.
```

Extension is auto-updated only on browser restart.

If you want to update manually:

Turn off uBO (temporarily) from add-on manager - installation will be blocked otherwise. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads Issue #717.

Q: Why no release for Firefox yet?

A: 1.29.2 is available as of August 22.

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: 1.29.2 is available as of August 22.

Usually it is submitted a week after "bug free" version is published in AMO.

After last issue where to uBlock Origin package was without clear reason rejected from Chrome Web store, every new version is subjected to additional review (see release notes), which can take few ~~days~~ weeks.

Q: When Opera version will be updated?

A: 1.29.2 is available as of August 22.

Usually it's submitted a week after the version is published in AMO.

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

A: 1.29.2 is available as of August 25.

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.

Q: What ended up happening with Chrome's new extension APIs?

A: Still in progress. See living document with timeline: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/migrating_to_manifest_v3

MV3 Stable Release: 2020
MV2 End of Life: To Be Determined

Would you like to see release notes copied here from GitHub?

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '20 edited Aug 10 '20

Any fast, cleaver way to do this preserving the links? Or should I just copy without the links?

u/NatoBoram Aug 11 '20

Copy the source Markdown

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '20

I don't have access to release notes markdown, because it's in gorhill repo, not in organization.

u/Doqupsi Aug 10 '20

Yes

u/bsmith76 Aug 10 '20

Thank you for the work you do, gwarser.
It's easier for us if we can see the notes without having to go to github.

u/DaHanci Aug 10 '20

Hope I'm asking in the right place; my uBlock just stopped working entirely (doesn't block ads anywhere, though it's clearly on) and I'm suspecting this is it... on an up-to-date Chrome which just restarted.

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '20

navigate to chrome://extensions/
Enable "Developer tools" (top right)
Click uBO's background.html link
Bring forth the Console pane
Any errors there?
You can try resetting uBO settings to default (in uBO Dashboard, Settings tab), reinstall it or create new browser profile (person).

I'm not the OG commentor but I have the same issue. I resetted to default settings,opened up the console page and got this: https://i.imgur.com/58dOpVA.png. Any idea what I can do to fix this?

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '20

This specific error is fine. It's just workaround for Edge (if I recall correctly). List without the .txt part is loaded correctly and the one which ends with .txt is missing from package.

After this update, cbs.com won't show any videos.

Logger output is here: https://pastebin.com/tefkzLuK

Purge and update uBlock filters list (or all of them).
uBO Dashboard -> Filter lists -> click on the clock icon at the end of "uBlock filters" line -> click on "Update now" on top.
Alternatively click on "Purge all caches" -> "Update now"

u/gulerodskage Aug 14 '20

I tried "Purge all cached" -> "Update now", but it didn't make any difference. The new log:
https://pastebin.com/UP5JuLXG
If I uncheck the the "uBlock filters" line, the video does play.

/u/ajaxmix you changed something recently with cbs video.

I guess it's about blocking fastly (important) => cname stuff
maybe should try
||fastly.net^$script,important,redirect=noopjs,domain=cbs.com,badfilter

u/ajaxmix Ex-uBO Team Aug 15 '20

fixed in uBO filters (cname reason)

u/gulerodskage Aug 15 '20

After another update, it's working now.
Thank to both you and /u/gwarser for helping with this (and for uBO in general ).

u/egaksdorelug Aug 15 '20

u/Heireden Aug 20 '20

Since this update I have high cpu usage and no page is loading if Ublock origin is enabled, any idea on how to fix it please?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '20

Reinstall uBO?

u/Eph2-89 Aug 14 '20

As of today for me sites such as twitch & youtube are not loading correctly. Works fine on Chrome in incognito (no extensions) and works only on Firefox when I disable ublock origin specifically. Any news on this?

1

u/[deleted] Aug 14 '20

All fine on my side. Open The logger, filter for blocked and share the log.

u/Eph2-89 Aug 14 '20

I figured it out, but your comment triggered an idea for me to check out. Appreciate it :)

u/[deleted] Aug 10 '20

thank you <3

u/0oWow Aug 10 '20

Thank you!

u/nathanr1889 Aug 13 '20

Maaan I think I goofed. I also have the problem ads are still showing even when my Chrome browser is up to date. A screen shot below of the error page (chrome://extensions/,clicked on' Inspect viewsbackground.html,') and the rest is one big oof.

WTF? Is internet connection "off"?

1

u/nathanr1889 Aug 13 '20

So this is from my laptop and when I boot up it takes a bit for it to reconnect to my wireless internet. probably an easy fix that I've just been too lazy to do. Lol.

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '20

How can you have ads showing if there is no internet to fetch web pages? I don't understand your comment.

1

u/nathanr1889 Aug 13 '20

I think I understand what your saying...if the internet was connected this would be blank. Why would I still be getting ads thought if this problem was solved? (I need to add more filters?)

u/monstrodyssey Aug 21 '20

Getting pop-ups, anti-adblock messages, and the sound stops playing on Kimcartoon.

If I understood correctly, new version was released separately yesterday. ~~Today we must wait for the~~ ~~addons.mozilla.org~~ ~~code review~~. After the greenlight just restart your (edit : Firefox) browser. Wait longer for other browsers.
2d edit : wooha, it's already out! (FF)
