Adblock Plus and the Change to Manifest V3 · 2024-05-03 18:00 by
The Manifest V3 version of Adblock Plus is here!
Adblock Plus 4.0 for Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Opera · 2024-04-29 17:10 by Thomas Greiner
Install Adblock Plus 4.0 for Chrome
Install Adblock Plus 4.0 for Firefox
Install Adblock Plus 4.0 for Microsoft Edge
Install Adblock Plus 4.0 for Opera
This is the first Adblock Plus version that is based on the Manifest v3 extension format. For now this change only affects users on Chrome. Users on Firefox, Microsoft Edge and Opera will remain on Manifest v2 for the time being, so this release only includes some minor changes for them. Eventually, we are going to switch over to Manifest v3 on all platforms and we are continuing to monitor and test support for Manifest v3 on those platforms.
Snippets changes
Upgraded @eyeo/snippets to 1.2.2 (release notes), which includes the following changes:
- Changed optional parameter syntax of
skip-videosnippet. - Updated
skip-videosnippet:- Added support for
race. - Added support for optional named parameters.
- Added optional parameters:
-run-once-stop-on-video-end-wait-until
- Converted existing optional parameters to optional named parameters:
-max-attempts-retry-ms-skip-to
- Added support for
Chrome-specific changes
- Switched to Manifest v3 (initial support, additional fixes and improvements, abp#1651).
Known issues due to Manifest v3 limitations
- The size of the extension package has increased significantly. We are investigating various ways to reduce the size of future Adblock Plus versions.
- Filter lists from third-party sources have been disabled temporarily and won’t show up in the extension’s settings. Those filter lists will be restored with a subsequent update.
- Filter lists may fail to update. This problem is more likely to occur for users with many custom filters.
- Filter lists may fail to install. This problem is more likely to occur for users who have other content-filtering extensions enabled.
- Custom filters may fail to be added.
