This is an emergency release to fix an issue causing differential updates to fail. The issue primarily affected Firefox because of uBO's use of indexedDB prior to 1.57.0. The issue did not affect full update of filter lists even though the asset viewer would show old versions of those lists (internally uBO compiles lists and would still correctly compile from lists fetched by full updater).

This release also contains translation work, so I will also publish an update to Chrome Web Store despite the issue not affecting Chromium-based browsers.

Fixes / changes

• Fix stray lists in redesigned cache storage

New

Differential update of filter lists, as a result of discussions at AdguardTeam/FiltersCompiler#192. Resulting spec is here.

The goal is to NOT be ranked among the "most popular projects" by bandwidth usage (as per jsDelivr's public stats):

It is expected that differential updates will lower both requests and bandwidth usage.

IMPORTANT: To benefit the much shorter update period enabled by differential updates, you must let uBO auto-update the filter lists. Forcing a manual update will prevent differential updates until the next time a list auto-update.

This release is essentially just 1.53.0 plus a fix to address an issue in uBO, but which so far has affected only Microsoft Edge as per reports:

• uBlock Origin blocks local files opening in a new window under certain conditions
• Open local PDF file with Microsoft Edge

The fix:

• Properly reset needle length in unserialized buffer

Other browsers will get that fix in stable release 1.54.0.
