This release adds support for opening noteworthy notifications in a new tab (core#162, webex#162) that would otherwise go unnoticed. Such notifications will not be shown to users on large scale deployments of Adblock Plus (webext#171).

It also removes warning messages that are shown in the browser’s developer tools when installing the extension (webext#174) and when visiting websites (webext#173).

Adblock Plus 3.8.1 for Opera · 2020-02-25 17:00 by Sebastian Noack

Install Adblock Plus 3.8.1 for Opera

When releasing Adblock Plus 3.8 we ran into an issue with the Opera Addons website that prevented us from making the new version available on Opera (core#132). This issue has been resolved now, and we finally were able to deliver the update on Opera as Adblock Plus 3.8.1. Other than a minor change required for submission on Opera Addons this build is identical to what has been released as Adblock Plus 3.8 for other browsers.
