New

Toolbar icon badge color

The toolbar icon badge color will now reflect the current blocking mode. This should help with usage of the "Relax blocking mode" shortcut. The way uBO relaxes the current blocking mode is configurable through the advanced setting blockingProfiles.

Static network filter options

redirect-rule=

This new option allows to create a pure redirect directive, without a corresponding block filter as would be the case with the redirect= option. For example, consider the following filter:

||example.com/ads.js$script,redirect=noop.js

The above filter will result in a block filter ||example.com/ads.js$script and a matching redirect directive. Now consider this following filter:

||example.com/ads.js$script,redirect-rule=noop.js

The above filter will not cause a block filter to be created, only a redirect directive will be created. Standalone redirect directives are useful when the blocking of a resource is optional but we still want the resource to be redirected should it ever be blocked by whatever mean -- whether through a separate block filter, a dynamic filtering rule, etc.

empty and mp4

Support for AdGuard's empty and mp4 filter option has been added.

!#if false ... !#endif

Support for the directive !#if false to easily disable a block of filters, which is more convenient than having to delete them all or prefix them all with !.

Scriptlet injection

Ability to wholly disable scriptlet injection for a given site using broad scriptlet injection exception:

example.com#@#+js()

It is also possible to disable scriptlet injection everywhere with a generic exception:

#@#+js()

This is useful when creating specific exception filters is inconvenient.

Closed as fixed:

• Support AdGuard's empty & mp4 static filter options
• Add ability to bypass browser cache when fetching a resource
• Extension icon doesn't revert back when the domain is removed from Whitelist tab
• Dead code in assets.js
• Popup panel closing when forcing a reload
• uBlock does not appear to honor overriding default assets.json via Chrome policy
• uBo logger show not used :style(...) filters
• Block Element doesn't appear in the context menu of a tab under specific circumstances
• Cosmetic filters containing pseudo-elements do not show results in manual/interactive selection mode

New:

New procedural cosmetic/HTML filtering operator: min-text-length(x), where x is the minimal text length of the subject DOM element. It is chainable. Example:

example.de##^script:has-text(.charCodeAt):min-text-length(14000)

New keyboard shortcut available: "Relax blocking mode". Use it to lower the current blocking mode to a lower one. Currently the default behavior is:

1. Allow JavaScript; or
2. Allow 3rd-party network requests

Consequently, if your default blocking profile is to disable JavaScript and 3rd-party network requests, you will need to press twice to lower uBO's blocking mode to the lowest blocking mode achievable through the keyboard command. The current web page will be automatically reloaded each time the current blocking mode is lowered.

The shortcut will have no effect when the current blocking mode in effect does not forbid JavaScript and 3rd-party requests.

Closed as fixed:

• url(...) style injections in cosmetic filters
• Parse search string as plaintext to avoid doubling \
• Commit button gets stuck under specific circumstances
• Whitelisting behind-the-scene causes uBO to disregard the moz-extension-scheme rule
• Add link to open urls in a new tab
• Thunderbird's 1.20.0 xpi contains version 1.9.15.101
• Coalesce common plain filters in a bucket into a single trie
• Temporary dynamic filters with 3p-script won't save
• Keyboard shortcut to change modes
