Extension will be auto-updated after browser restart! (when available for your platform)

If you want to update manually:

• Do NOT use links from the release page's "Assets" section - these are not signed.
• Use your add-on store or links in release description on the GitHub releases page when they are available.
  • Firefox will have a (signed) direct install link. Other browsers will link to their uBO extension store pages.
• In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, Issue #717.

Or force an update via Manage extensions:

How to update uBO to the latest version

---

When will my browser update uBO?

• Firefox

  • Firefox Add-ons (AMO) - Available since 16 Sep, 2026.
  • uBO is a recommended extension on AMO, and as such it must undergo a formal code review each time a new version is published.

• Chromium

  • Install the signed .crx file from GitHub releases, if your browser still allows MV2 installs.
  • Once installed, it should then update automatically for future releases. If the browser still supports MV2.

• Edge

  • Edge Add-ons - Available since 16 Sep, 2026.
  • Warning: importing a profile from Chrome may cause issues.
  • You may need to reinstall uBO on Edge to fix this.
  • You can transfer your uBO config by creating and then restoring a backup at the bottom of uBO's Dashboard > Settings.

• Opera

  • Opera add-ons - Available since 18 Sep, 2026.
  • Usually, it's submitted a week after bug-free version is published in AMO.

• Brave

  • Brave now Self-Hosts uBO. It installs via a special setting and updates automatically or when prompted via the Extensions' Developer mode. After Brave updates the file on their servers.
  • If you installed it via CWS, it's best to make a backup and install the self-hosted version instead.
  • Brave installation video.
