1.1

This is the second release of xulBlock Advanced (xBA).

Be sure to read the README. It's the main xBA document that explains several important items.

Script inject rules

xBA 1.1 has 3 changes for script:inject rules:

• Added logging of them.
• Added support for the new +js alias. (Also note that script:contains rules remain supported in xBA, despite being deprecated in uBO as shown in the link.)
• Removed implicit injection for the reasons gorhill stated.

Two names

These two rules are equivalent in xBA:
example.com##script:inject(bab-defuser.js)
example.com##+js(bab-defuser.js)

(The same is true for overriding inject rules with the #@# syntax.)

For logging, xBA uses both names. The new +js name is shown for each logged entry, because it's shorter and thus allows the inject parameters to be more visible. But when you click on logged inject entries, the script:inject name is shown for the full rule name and what list it's from.

So keep all of this in mind when managing your own inject rules or searching 3rd-party lists for specific rules. You may need to search for both names to find a particular rule.

Other changes

xBA 1.1 also has all relevant upstream changes since the fork point:

• add concise versions of often-used filter options

• fix a case of popup detection

• fix parsing of some regex rules

• fix parsing of rules with the unsupported webrtc option

• fix parsing of some rules that begin or end with a wildcard

• improve support for rules with the object-subrequest option

• fix the element picker not opening when zero cosmetic filters are enabled

• for popups, remove some duplicate entries in the logger

• prevent harmless "obsolete" status of user filters

• respect manualUpdateAssetFetchPeriod of zero

• lower the minimum list update period to 1 day

1.0

This is the first official release of xulBlock Advanced (xBA), a fork of uBlock Origin for browsers that support XUL add-ons.

Important

• xBA is only for Advanced users. In short, Advanced users know how to fix website breakage caused by their use of xBA, including problems caused by 3rd-party lists.
• Read the README. It is the main xBA document with all of the important info for this initial release.
