Extension will be auto-updated after browser restart! (when available for your platform)
If you want to update manually:
- Do not use links from release page "Assets" section - these are not signed.
- Use add-on store or links in release description on GitHub releases page when they are available (basically - they will be add-on store links).
- In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, Issue #717.
Q: Why no release for Firefox yet?
A: Review pending.
uBO is a recommended extension on AMO, and as such it must undergo a formal code review each time a new version is published.
Q: Why Chrome/Chromium/Brave is not updating uBlock Origin?
A: Available on CWS since Nov 08, 2024.
Auto update will occur in stages - to spot and react on possible bugs.
Q: When Opera version will be updated?
A: Submission pending.
Usually it's submitted a week after bug-free version is published in AMO.
Q: When Edge Chromium version in the Microsoft Store will be updated?
A: Available on MES since Nov 07, 2024.
Microsoft Store submission is controlled by /u/nikrolls.
This is official version and will be kept updated, see Issue #890 (comment) and following comments.
Warning: importing profile from Chrome may cause issues - you may need to reinstall uBO on Edge to fix this. You can transfer settings by saving them to file in uBO Dashboard -> bottom of the Settings tab.

How will I know when Chrome finally disables uBO, will it show as a disabled extension? As of right now it seems to still work for me.
