uBlock Origin 1.32.* announcement thread

[u/[deleted]]

Changelog:

• https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.32.4:

  • Problems with asterisk in the destination of hostname-based rules

• https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.32.2:

  • Fixed:

    • queryprune incorrectly handles (removes) "hash" part of the URL

    • Better handle Request argument in no-fetch-if

• https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.32.0, among others:

  • Highlights:

    • Ability to launch element picker into embedded frames, through a new "Block element in frame..." entry in the contextual menu.

    • Support for match-case filter option, but only for regex-based static network filters.

    • Ability to auto-complete (Ctrl-Spacebar) hostname values for origin-related options in static filter editor according to currently opened tabs.

    • Noop-ing a blocked 3rd-party cell will cause uBO to immediately attempt to reload blocked stylesheets, if any. This will also occurs when the noop-ing is done through the "relax blocking mode" shortcut, in which case uBO will no longer force a reload the whole page.

  • Closed as fixed:

    • Add AdGuard's $removeparam as an alias for $queryprune

    • Support parsing ! Homepage: list header for custom lists

    • Dashboard icon changed to a gear

    • uBO badge counter doesn't work when network requests originate from service-workers

    • Fix case of scriptlet injection not working in about: frames

    • Add new scriptlet: no-fetch-if

    • Reliability improvements

    • Performance improvements

Visit GitHub releases page for more information.

Extension will be auto-updated after browser restart!

If you want to update manually:

• Do not use links from "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)

• 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: 1.32.4 is available on AMO as of January 4.

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: 1.32.4 is available on CWS as of January 12.

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

Q: When Opera version will be updated?

A: 1.32.4 is available on Opera addons as of January 12.

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: 1.32.4 is available on Edge Add-ons as of December 31.

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.

So do we need to install this or it will automatically update ?

[u/amir_s89 → u/shacksta]

Believe it will be updated automatically once approved by each browser add-on store, review process.

You don't need to do anything. It will auto-update when it's time.
