Notes

As per various feedback, the new setting "Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded" is now unchecked by default in Chromium-based browsers. You will have to explicitly enable it to restore the attempt at mitigating Chromium-based browsers inability to reliably block network requests at launch.

Closed as fixed:

• Fix improper handling of match-all removeparam
• [Chromium] Rework behavior of "Suspend network activity until ..."

Notes

Mozilla Add-ons Team rejected 1.41.0 and disabled the submission, and this breaks the history of uBO's versions for Firefox. See Release 1.41.0 for complete release notes for 1.41.2.

Closed as fixed:

• Textarea focus border is slightly cut off from the sides in the static filter pane in the logger

Notable commits without an entry in the issue tracker:

• Use theme-related shade of red for DOM inspector
• Fix bad font size in DOM inspector
• Fix visually glitchy Create button in element picker

To install the stable build:

• Firefox: Rejected by Mozilla Add-ons Team. The reason is that I did not provide an exact link to the origin of the hsluv-0.1.0.min.js library used by uBO to implement dark theme (uBO's About page does credit the author of the library). A README has been added to 1.41.2 to disclose the exact origin of the library.

Notes

Minimum supported browser versions has been bumped up:

• Firefox 68
• Chromium 66
  • Consequently, Opera 53

New

Dark mode

Support for dark mode added to the Settings pane, under the (new) Appearance section:

The new setting can be either Auto, Light, or Dark.

In addition, there is a new setting to control the accent color used by uBO throughout its user interface:

For example, changing the accent color changes the look of the popup panel:

Behavior at browser launch

A new setting in "Filter lists" pane to control whether uBO should wait for all filter lists to be loaded before unsuspending network activity.

By default, at browser launch uBO waits for all filter lists to be loaded before unsuspending network activity so as to ensure web pages are properly filtered at launch.

The new setting allows to opt out of network activity suspension at launch, i.e. allowing web pages to load without waiting for filter lists to be fully loaded, of course at the cost of potentially not filtering properly those web pages.

Closed as fixed:
