New

New filtering ability to remove specific response headers from document resources. Example:
Code:
 

example.com##^responseheader(refresh)

Only the following response headers are allowed to be removed, anything else will cause the filter to be invalid and discarded:

• location
  
• refresh
  
• report-to
  
• set-cookie
  

Chromium-based browsers

Google's FLoC is defused by default. Websites will be able to use the FLoC API (only if already present), but will be unable to get a result from it -- uBO causes the API to always fail as if there was no FLoC data available.

uBlock Origin 1.38.0:

New

:matches-path(...)

New cosmetic procedural operator,
 

:matches-path(...)

See "Add $path modifier of Adguard or any equivalents of this".

Node.js

A new Node.js package will now published with every release. The package allows to import and use uBO's static and dynamic filtering engines into Node.js.

This is currently minimal and a first iteration, and issues regarding the Node.js package are accepted in order to improve usability of uBO's filtering engines in a Node.js package. The ability to run code from a Node.js package also opens the door to have test coverage in uBO.

For now the package can be downloaded and unzipped locally. Once installed, you can execute
 

node test

in the root of the package to verify that the static network filtering engine works properly. For usage, refer to the
 

test.js

, or
 

ublock.js

used in Cliqz's benchmark.Since I have little experience with dealing with Node.js environment/packages, thanks to @mjethani for assistance.

Removed

The setting "Prevent WebRTC from leaking local IP addresses" has been removed since it is no longer necessary in modern browsers, except for Firefox for Android where the issue is still present.

Closed as fixed:

• Remove WebRTC leak prevention
  
• $removeparam doesn't work well with UrlEncoded gb2312 Chinese word
  
• Scriptlets don't work randomly in Firefox
  
• Security: comments can be used to smuggle url() functions into css values
  
• Prevent uBO from hiding html or body when matched by a generic cosmetic filter
  
• On Android Popup Overlays [or Underlays] On-Screen Navigation Buttons
  
• Add $path modifier of Adguard or any equivalents of this
  
• The overview panel will not show everything if the uBO's icon is placed in the Firefox overflow menu
  
• [patch by @vtriolet] TypeError in noscript-spoof scriptlet with invalid meta refresh URL
  
• TypeError when trying to use element picker on plaintext resource
  
• Split out core functionality into separate module
  • This is of course an ongoing work for the foreseeable future, but the concrete goal sought in the issue has been reached, i.e. the static network filtering engine can be used as a nodejs module with no external dependencies.
    
  • Since uBO's codebase now uses JS modules, the minimum version of supported browsers has been increased to Chromium 61, Firefox 60, and Opera 48.

Notes

As per various feedback, the new setting "Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded" is now unchecked by default in Chromium-based browsers.
