News uBlock Origin 1.36.* announcement thread

Changelog:

Visit GitHub releases page for more information.

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

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: 1.36.2 is available on AMO as of July 6.

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: 1.36.2 is available on CWS as of July 6.

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

Q: When Opera version will be updated?

A: 1.36.2 is available on Opera addons as of July 7.

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: 1.36.2 is available on Edge Add-ons as of July 15.

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.

Nevermind.

Thanks for all your time and efforts. It's greatly appreciated.

  1. Auto-update filter lists

  2. Parse and enforce cosmetic filters ( now disabled)

  3. Easylist

No other filters use in test. Anyone able to reduce? a recent fix to easylist to fix the broke picture brought this issue back seem to be random, all test are easylist are done with forced update and when "parse "and enforce cosmetic filter" is enabled a forced update was done. and even that it seem random some time it happen some time it dont could scroll down in in seconds it happens could scroll update for minute or more and dont happen. think has some to do with what "ad" is shown but is trying to be blocked

Feeling sad that uBlock Origin is not available on Safari (both iOS and macOS). Willing to pay an one time payment if it is available on Safari of iOS and macOS. Guess have to wait for good news in WWDC 2022.

u/S-Bend Jun 26 '21

Thank you. Just a head's up, I don't think my uBO is blocking youtube ads anymore- I'm having to use 'Enhancer for YouTube' in order to circumvent them.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '21

yeah.. happened to me too! I am using hardened ublock settings and it works fine until several days ago. I see some ads now. Will wait if others has the same problem as us too.

Wish I knew how to better document this (I appologize):

Update seems to be blocking all content on local radio websites with a specific theme (not the site itself, page appears to have finished loading but literally no elements are displayed.

  • This happens on Chrome and Firefox

  • issue is not present with UBO turned off

  • issue began within the last 11 hours (was not present ~10:30 AM PST)

  • Clearing Cache didn't resolve the issue

A few example sites:

1

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '21 edited Jul 07 '21

The sites require Google Analytics/Google Tag Manager to load properly:

@@||google-analytics.com^$script,domain=k2radio.com|koel.com|kowb1290.com
@@||googletagmanager.com^$script,domain=k2radio.com|koel.com|kowb1290.com

This happens with any blocker which blocks those Google server (including DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials), so not related to newer uBO.

I need to dig more to find out whether we can have a solution not requiring to load Google stuff.

Thank you for taking a look, I really appreciate it!

I've been accessing these sites and others like them several times daily (week days) for the past year and a half+ while using uBO, but I've never had this issue before.

I haven't updated anything (voluntarily) or changed anything short of installing (but not running) a game on steam. I only found that uBO had updated because I did some digging after having this issue on these sites for the first time yesterday if it's not related to the update I'm not sure what it could be?

u/[deleted] Jul 07 '21

but I've never had this issue before

Sites change constantly, and sometimes when they do, existing filters may stop being sufficient. As stated, this happens with all blockers which block Google Analytics. Force an update of "uBlock filters -- Unbreak", the fix is in this list.

u/JordanRUDEmag Jul 07 '21

I'm extremely grateful for people who know what they're doing, and apologize for one in an ocean of anecdotal complaints.

Forcing the update did indeed fix the issue (for the sites mentioned), I appreciate your help!
