1.14.12

Firefox WebExtensions

Issues with uBO/webext? If so, then read carefully before filing any issue.

Firefox for Android 56: I have observed that the "Options" button does not appear in about:addons with this version of uBO (while this works fine with Nightly, quite probably because of bugzilla issue 1364945). However, unlike with Firefox for Android 55, uBO's entry in the browser menu is properly shown, so you can access the dashboard through the popup panel.

Changes:

The filter list category Social has been renamed to broader Annoyances.

Changes in selection of stock filter lists:

Added:

• "Adguard Base Filters"
  • Thanks to Adguard's @ameshkov for going out of his way to make the list specifically for uBO. Both Adguard and uBO share some extended filter syntax, and as such uBO users do benefit from Adguard's filter lists.
• "Adguard Spyware Filters" (in "Privacy" section)
• "Adguard Annoyances" (in "Annoyances" section)
• "Adguard Spanish/Portuguese" (see #3089)
• "VIE: ABPVN" (see #2600)

Changed:

• Instruction URLs added for "RUS: RU AdList" and "CHN: CJX's EasyList Lite"
  • So that users can find more about these lists and the recommendations on how to best use them made by their respective maintainers.
• "RUS: Adguard Russian" and "CHN: CJX's EasyList Lite" will now be selected by default for new installations.

Removed:

• "EasyList without element hiding rules" (not very useful)
• "Reek's AAK" (no longer maintained)
• "uBlock Protector List" (it required Chrom[ium|e], uBO must be browser vendor agnostic)
• "Fanboy Ultimate" (see #3061)
• "CHN: CJX's Annoyance" (optional list)
• "EU: Prebake" (no longer maintained)
• "KOR: Fanboy Korean" (marked as "officially unsupported")
• "RUS: BitBlock" (see #3019 (comment))
• "VIE: Fanboy Vietnamese" (marked as "officially unsupported)

For whoever has one of the removed list selected, it will be moved to the "Custom" section (i.e. converted into an imported filter list).

Closed as fixed:

Firefox/webext

• Blocked Elements Still Showing Placeholder
• Popup/popunder blocking broken after opening uBO's dashboard through popup panel
• Sync is bogus with the new version of uBlock
  • If you still have sync issues even after the fix, see if #3006 (comment) works for you.

Core

• Performance issue when looking up a cosmetic filter's origin in the logger
• Zapper and picker mode dont work on firefox 55/56
• Prebake - Filter Obtrusive Cookie Notices - not updated
• Middle clicking on a link triggers popup rule
• ABP new filter not working on uBO
• Add Anti-Adblock Killer Continued
• Unsupported genericblock causes supported generichide to be ignored
• no-remote-fonts option not working for inlined fonts
• Pushing to cloud storage fails silently: no hint is provided about the failure
