User interface changes

  • Fixed: Privacy policy link was missing from settings page (ui#724).

Filter changes

    • Added profile snippet (core#94).
    • Added hide-if-matches-xpath snippet (core#178).
    • Avoid interference between snippets (core#186).
    • Added hide-if-labelled-by snippet (core#189).
    • Fixed: Snippets fail when using abort-* snippets (core#221).
    • Added json-prune snippet (core#225).
  • Added element hiding debug mode (core#170, webext#172).
    Note: For now, this mode can only be enabled via the browser console (see instructions).
  • Long filters in developer tools panel are now displayed in a tooltip (ui#301).

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.
