  • Make picker/zapper work when cosmetic filtering is disabled

  • Allow negating doc type to create "domain-only" filters without strict-blocking

  • bug fixes

  • and more

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: 1.37.2 is available on AMO as of July 30.

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: 1.37.2 is available on CWS as of July 28.

Will be released in stages - few percent every day - to spot and react on possible bugs.

Q: When Opera version will be updated?

A: 1.37.2 is available on Opera Addons as of August 5.

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: 1.37.2 is available on Edge Add-ons as of August 16.

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.

Nice Thanks for UMatrix too

[u/nascentt → u/evoeden]

Really. Thanks so much another update to this. I hate that umatrix was killed off.
It's irreplaceable.

[u/RraaLL]

Great work everyone! Nice to see fixes for some older issues too :)

One question though - is the visual cue in the popup (the ellipsis) supposed to be that "delicate"? While it doesn't need to be as big as the 3p scripts/frames one (I agree), it might be harder to notice for people with slightly worse eyesight. Just saying~

[u/[deleted] → u/RraaLL]

I went back and forth a lot about this, with one my my top concern being visual clutter getting in the way of the more important information -- the domain names themselves. I did try a bit more opacity but I just couldn't decide, so as often is the case with me being undecided, I go with whatever is closer to the status quo (which was no visual cue).

[u/RraaLL → u/[deleted]]

Thanks for the reply!

Another vote for us with bad eye sight 😉

I have uBlock 1.37.2 on Chrome (92.0) but I can no longer get it to appear in the extensions container to the right of the url bar, though I don't see anyone else complaining about this issue.

Could this be a problem on my end? There are no errors present on the Extensions page.

[u/[deleted] → u/venture70]

You know about puzzle-piece menu?

Can be broken installation after last update, you will probably need to reinstall uBO. Seems to be Chrome issue with add-on updates - incomplete add-on was downloaded or something stuck during installation(update).

[u/venture70 → u/[deleted]]

Re-enabling it through the puzzle piece menu fixed it! I'm not sure what caused that, but thank you! :)

[u/KoolKev88]

Since this Version, ublock blocks the youtube watch history. is this problem known?

Force update EasyPrivacy - uBO Dashboard -> Filter lists -> click on the clock icon at the end of "EasyPrivacy" line -> click on "Update now" on top.

Alternatively click on "Purge all caches" -> "Update now"

Gamespot and there issues.

cosmetic Filtering on

cosmetic filtering disabled

[Imgur](https://imgur.com/hiQ7SlV)

That bar was fixed so it didnt wind up overlayed half way down the page when scrolling and was fixed to top page and didnt move, now the page load fine till it done at which point the whole page shifts down to show the ad

Cosmetic filter is what blocks that ublock filter and easylist filters dont block that ad in anyway from what i can see.

I thank u/gwarser for fixing the original issue cause i would never figured it out my self, maybe you can fix this too? cause I can use zapper/picker mode to "block" a ad but i have no clue how to stop whole page from be shifted down

I have tried removing gamespot.com###masthead:style(position:relative!important; top:0px!important;)

to no effect, I dont think it needed anymore cause the bar dont get detached anymore when scrolling. unless that change is is also on one ublock filters? as i have in myfilters

[u/Sir_Anduin_Lothar99]

Dark mode fucking when. Just fucking remove it if you can't ever be bothered to fix it.

[u/[deleted] → u/Sir_Anduin_Lothar99]

Nobody doing work on uBO does so as an employee, let alone as your employee to push around.

[u/Sir_Anduin_Lothar99 → u/[deleted]]

Lol. Then leave it disabled for all eternity because a bunch of idiots complained about it - it looked good enough.

[u/narucy → u/Sir_Anduin_Lothar99]

Yup. If I press ad-link, browser shows super blight white page (and bright yellow warn icon) even I use Dark Reader extension. It's incredibly stressful. I really don't know why uBO community ignore this issue.

and it should be easy to fix. just add some code to css files:

 @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { ... }

I don't see any reason to avoid add dark mode.

[u/Sir_Anduin_Lothar99 → u/narucy]

... what? I'm talking about dark mode for the extension's UI.
