(Current version installed in my Chrome 99 is uBlock Origin
1.41.2)
The open-source ad blocking extension, uBlock Origin, now has a dark theme for its interface. This had been one of the most requested features by users…
Other fixes in uBlock Origin 1.41.0
Back in December 2021, I wrote that uBlock Origin introduced a workaround, that blocked YouTube ads from bypassing the add-on’s filters, just after the browser had been launched by the user. The issue was that Chromium based browsers sent network requests to servers to resume the activity of the tabs from the previous session. The extension’s latest version introduces a setting that fixes the problem. It prevents all network activity when the browser is launched, and waits for the add-on’s filter lists to be loaded, to block the ads, after which the tabs are loaded with proper filtration of the ads. The new option is enabled by default, and can be toggled from the Filter Lists tab. It is labeled “Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded”…
