|
|
|
- When you later update manually, replace the **content** of the `ublock` folder with the **content** of the latest zipped version.
|
|
|
|
|
- This will ensure that all the extension settings will be preserved
|
|
|
|
|
- As long as the extension loads **from same folder path from which it was originally installed**, all your settings will be preserved.

Remember that you have to update manually also. For some users, updating manually is actually an advantage because:

|
|
|
- You can update when **you** want
