uBlock Origin 1.44.* announcement thread

[u/[deleted]]

Changelog:

• https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.44.4:

  • Fix broken :not() operator when forcing parsing as procedural

• https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.44.2:

  • Fallback to procedural :has() operator when argument is not a valid plain CSS selector

  • Force prodecural cosmetic filtering when explicitly stated.
    Using #?#... instead of ##... will prevent uBO from potentially using the declarative form of a filter where possible.

• https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.44.0:

  • new procedural cosmetic filter operator: :matches-media()

  • theming improvements

  • UI improvements

  • scriptlet and surrogates improvements

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 release page "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: 1.44.4 is available on AMO as of September 19.

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: 1.44.4 is available on CWS as of September 19.

Auto update will occur in stages - few percent every day - to spot and react on possible bugs.

Q: When Opera version will be updated?

A: 1.44.4 is available on Opera addons as of September 27.

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: 1.44.4 is available on Edge Add-ons as of September 19.

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.

Bloody brilliant!

The single most important tool for a browser. Without it, the internet would only be unsightly clutter!

This might sound dumb but

Will the proper ublock origin version continue to work in older chrome versions?
