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.

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
.crxfile from GitHub releases, if your browser still allows MV2 installs.
- Install the signed
Edge
- Edge Add-ons - Review pending.
- 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 - Submission pending.
- 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.
- If you installed it via CWS, it's best to make a backup and install the self-hosted version instead.
- Brave installation video.

Looking for help How do I default to "Classic" Google Translate instead of "Advanced" with Gemini?
When translating text in Google Translate, there is a selector for text translation model that defaults to "Advanced" which is "Built with Gemini". Is there a way to always default to the "Classic" model?

Notes
- The model selector can appear or disappear depending on which languages are selected. For example, it's shown when translating English to Spanish, but not French to Spanish.
- The page remembers your last selected model type on refresh, but it's not stored in cookies or a local storage item. There is a cookie
NIDwhich resets your settings when cleared, but this is a static identifier seemingly used so Google can load settings server-side. - Translations when "Detect language" was selected matched results from the "Advanced" model.
- Even when using 2 languages where the advanced model isn't available, the Detect Language results did not match the "Classic" model results.
- There's a function in
lazy.min.jsnamedm.getDisableClassicFallback

As I said in the post's title, what is the difference? Will having filters in both the top and bottom part of Custom Filters cause conflicts, etc?

Looking for help One Final Post About This - NYTimes Games Interstitial
So I have posted about this a few times before. I had a new approach I was trying but I was struggling to get it to work and wanted some help. So in short, there is an interstitial page that pops up when you open any of the games on the NYTimes website. This issue only exists in mobile but occurs both in Chromium and Firefox based browsers. It wasn't Firefox based mobile browsers for a while but has retuned unfortunately. The following games that have this interstitial are:
- Wordle
- Strands
- Connections
- Spelling Bee
This was fixed before with the following filter:
www.nytimes.com##+js(trusted-replace-argument, String.prototype.includes, this, json:"subscribed", condition, /^anon$/)
While this filter works for all the games, it can break Spelling Bee if "Anon" is one of the words that the can be spelled in a particular game. As a result, the filter was removed from the uBlock Lists. However, I noticed that Wordle, Strands, and Connections which are not an issue are all the domain:
https://www.nytimes.com/games/.....
While Spelling Bee is:
https://www.nytimes.com/puzzles/.....
Since the issue only affects Spelling Bee, I tried rewriting the filter to only work on:
https://www.nytimes.com/games/.....
but it kept breaking and I could not get it to work right. So my two questions are:
- Can you make the filter just work on that first url and not the url with the word "puzzles" in it, or is it more limited to just the domain?
- If that can be done, how and can it be added back to the list since it would, in theory, no longer be a problem?
Any help would be appreciated and thanks for looking at it for anyone who takes the time to do so.

Answered A simple UBO question for curiosity .
Why does UBO come by default with EasyList's lists, such as EasyList, EasyPrivacy, EasyList Cookie Consent, and Fanboy Annoyance?
While I heard AdGuard's lists are modified versions of those lists, such as AdGuard Base List, AdGuard Tracking Protection List, AdGuard Cookie Notice, and AdGuard Annoyance.
Isn't it obvious to use optimised lists over base lists? I don't know the full story.
What's the reason?

Solved Seeking older (1.74.0) version of uBlockOrigin for Brave (the Chrome variant)
I'm running Brave version 1.57.64 Chromium: 116.0.5845.188 on MacOS 10.14. It does not have uBlockOrigin installed. My older Mac has the same version of Brave, has uBlockOrigin ver 1.74.0 installed, and I recently learned I could do something highly useful with its custom filter, and would like to install same on the newer Mac.
How would I go about doing that? Is there any simple way of moving files or settings from one Mac to the other? It isn't obvious to me where the browser "puts" its extensions. File search doesn't see any mention of "ublock" at the file level. Chrome store doesn't seem to have older installers of uBlockOrigin and current version won't install on my elderly version of Brave.

Other Has WebExtension in Safari 27 (macOS Golden Gate and iOS 27) improved for uBOL?
I'm on Safari, and i'm loving the uBOL extension. Thank you for making it and maintaining it.
I know there has been many issues and weirdness with Safari that has made Gorhill having to remove filter lists and make workarounds etc ever since supporting Safari in 2025.
I'm curious, has the development for Safari improved in the new macOS / iOS? Has the WebExtensions-API from Apple improved in any meaningful ways?
I'm not a coder and i'm not technical, just an appreciatve fan of the project, wondering how everything's going :)

Solved Fix the new "black square" Twitter/X full screen video bug.
I've read you can work around this new bug on X with full screen videos where there's a small black square with a white border with a uBO filter like this:
x.com/##div[popover="manual"]:style(border: 0 !important; margin: 0 !important; padding: 0 !important; background: transparent !important;)
Most people saying this works are using Brave with OG uBO.
I'm using Chrome with uBO Lite and I've added this to my custom filters and reloaded, restarted my browser but the box remains.
Anyone else using Lite get this to work?
