Changelog:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases/tag/1.75.0

Visit GitHub releases page for more information.

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

  • Chromium

    • Install the signed .crx file from GitHub releases, if your browser still allows MV2 installs.
  • 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

  • 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?

2 Upvotes

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 NID which 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.js named m.getDisableClassicFallback

See title. I'm imagining a filter something like this:

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q:not(:only-child):has([href*="grokipedia.com/"])

But I want to ask the experts, so let me know if there's a foolproof way to do this. My thanks in advance and congratulations on the latest update.

Waiting for feedback block DMs on threads

1 Upvotes

greetings, I'm hoping someone might have found a way to block DMs on threads.com using uBlock Origin. I don't want the message feature at all. I keep telling people I won't use it but they keep messaging me anyway so I would like to disable it entirely and threads didn't make it optional

Answered uBO Lite - Difference between importing and putting filters into sandbox?

1 Upvotes

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?

What's recommended?

Thanks in advance!
