To be replaced with five sublists.
Users who are already subscribed to the list will have to manually
unsubscribe from it, which will be moved to _Custom_ section, and
subscribe to the sublists which have narrower purpose.
As per discussion with filter list maintainers.
THis requires to use JSON notation for parameter passing:
- "runAt": "end" = execute scriptlet at `DOMContentLoaded` event
- "runAt": "idle" = execute scriptlet at `load` event
A new optional parameter has been added to `set-constant`
scriptlet: `runAt`, default to `0`.
..##+js(set, document.body.oncontextmenu, null, 2)
When the `runAt` parameter is present, uBO will take it into
account to possibly defer execution of `set-constant`:
- `runAt` not present: execute immediately
- `runAt` = 1: execute immediately
- `runAt` = 2: execute when document state is "interactive"
- `runAt` = 3: execute when document state is `"complete"
maintainers.
To enable logging, use the JSON approach to pass parameters to
`acs` scriptlet. Example:
..##+js(acs, { "target": "document.oncontextmenu", "log": true })
Whereas "target", "needle", and "context" correspond to their
respective positional argument. Using JSON form to pass parameters
allows to specify extra paramters to facilitate debugging of that
scriptlet:
- `"log": true` => output useful information at the dev console.
- `"debug": true` => break at key locations in the scriptlet.
The added logging/debugging capabilities work only in the dev build
of uBO or if the advanced setting `filterAuthorMode` is set to
`true`.
The scriptlet addEventListenerLogger has been removed.
The logging of addEventListener() calls can now be done with the
addEventListenerDefuser scriptlet, which now supports the
following named arguments:
"type": the event type to match. Default to '', i.e. match-all.
"pattern": the pattern to match against the handler argument
Default to '', i.e. match-all.
"log": an integer value telling when to log:
- 1: log only when both type and pattern matches, i.e. when a
call to addEventListener() is defused
- 2: log when either the type or pattern matches
- 3: log all calls to addEventListener()
"debug": an integer value telling when to break into the
debugger, useful to inspect the debugger's call stack.
- 1: break into the debugger when both type and pattern match,
so effectively when defusing is taking place.
- 2: break into the debugger when either type or pattern matches.
The usage of named arguments is optional, positional arguments
are still supported as documented. Named arguments is required
to use "log" and/or "debug" arguments.
Obviously, do not use "log" or "debug" in any filter list, these
are investigative tools for filter list authors.
Examples of usage using named arguments:
wikipedia.org##+js(aeld, { "type": "/mouse/", "pattern": "/.^/", "log": 2 })
Above filter will log calls to addEventListener() which have the
pattern "mouse" in the event type (so "mouseover", "mouseout",
etc.) without defusing any of them (because pattern can't match
anything).
wikipedia.org##+js(aeld, { "type": "/.^/", "log": 2 })
Above filter will log all calls without defusing any of them
(because type can't match anything)
wikipedia.org##+js(aeld, { "log": 1 })
Above filter will log and defuse all calls to addEventListener().
Builtin scriptlets are no longer parsed as text-based resources,
they are imported as JS functions, and `toString()` is used to
obtain text-based representation of a scriptlet.
Scriptlet parameters are now passed as function call arguments
rather than by replacing text-based occurrences of `{{i}}`. The
arguments are always string values (see below for exception).
Support for argument as Object has been added. This opens the
door to have scriptlets using named arguments rather than
positional arguments, and hence easier to extend functionality
of existing scriptlets. Example:
example.com##+js(scriplet, { "prop": "adblock", "value": false, "log": true })
Compatibility with user-provided scriptlets has been preserved.
User-provided scriptlets can benefit some of the changes:
Use the form `function(..){..}` instead of `(function(..){..})();`
in order to received scriptlet arguments as part of function call
-- instead of using `{{i}}`.
If using the form `function(..){..}`, you can choose to receive
an Object as argument -- just be sure that your scriptlet's
parameter is valid JSON notation.
The purpose is to prevent a call to an existing function from
throwing an exception. The exception will be caught by the
scriptlet and neutralized.
The first argument must be a reference to a function call. At
the moment, the function call must exist at the time the
scriptlet is called.

If the first argument is a regex with multine flag set, the
scriptlet will execute the regex against the whole text, and
remove matching text from the whole text.
If the matching text does not contains whole lines, the text
won't be removed, i.e. it is not allowed to remove only part
of a line.

Usage:
- example.com##+js(href-sanitizer, a[href^="/go?to="]:not([title]))
- example.com##+js(href-sanitizer, a[href^="/go?to="][title], [title])
The second argument is the attribute from which to extract the text
to be used for the `href` attribute of the link. If the second
attribute is absent, the text content of the element will be used.
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2531
Usage:
example.com##+js(href-from-text, a[href^="/tracker-link?to="]
The above scriptlet will find all elements matching the selector
passed as 1st argument, and replace the `href` attribute with the
text content of the element, if all the following conditions are
met:
- The element is a link (`a`) element
- The link element has an existing `href` attribute
- The text content of the element is a valid `https`-based URL

We need two different branches of uAssets to properly add the
default filter lists into the packages. I couldn't figure out
how to do this with submodules, using simple `git clone` as a
dependency just work.

Arguments:
1. Required. The selector of elements which are to be removed.
Example: Period[id*="-roll-"][id*="-ad-"]
2. An optional selector that must have a match in the document
for the pruning to occur. No selector means the pruning can
be performed regardless.
3. An optional URL which must be a match for the pruning to
occur. If left blank, the pruning can be performed regardless.

If the argument to the window-close-if scriptlet is a regex, the
match will be against the whole location URL, otherwise the
match will be against the part+query part of the location URL.
If you click the Home button for one of the EasyList filter lists in uBlock settings, now you will go to a page that succinctly describes what the filter does. The old links took you to a forum with no clear way to find info on a given filter, especially for a new user.
This scriplet supersedes abort-current-inline-script (acis),
and accepts an optional third argument which is matched
against the `src` property of script resources.
When the third argument is not provided, the scriptlet
behaves essentially the same as `acis`, and because of
this `acis` is now aliased to `abort-current-script`, and
all existing `acis` filters will execute with no change
in behavior.
In the long run, usage of `abort-current-inline-script` or
its alias `acis` should go away and be replaced with
`abort-current-script` or its alias `acs`.
Some sublists fail to load with this CDN, and
uBO fails to properly error out on the whole
list in such case, causing a truncated whole
list to be used in the end.

This commit ensures FLoC is opt-in. The generic filter
`*##+js(no-floc)` in "uBlock filters -- Privacy" ensures
the feature is disabled when using default settings/lists.
Users can opt-in to FLoC by adding a generic exception
filter to their custom filters, `#@#+js(no-floc)`; or they
can opt-in only for a specific set of websites through a
more specific exception filter:
example.com,shopping.example#@#+js(no-floc)
Too likely to cause breakage. It was originally added without
having been really evaluated. As per feedback, it's too likely
to cause breakage.
The list is seemingly used to evaluate filters, which are moved
to EasyPrivacy once they are deemed valid and useful.
As discussed internally with list maintainers:
- EasyList China doesn't leverage uBO's extended
filter syntax
- EasyList China's home page is no longer available
to the public
Additionally, "CJX's EasyList Lite" has been removed
from stock lists, as the list hosted on GitHub is no
longer updated, and "AdGuard Chinese" is the official
list to enable to address all filter issues for
Chinese sites.

A third (optional) argument has been added to `remove-attr`
scriptlet, which can be one or more space-separated tokens
dictating the behavior of the scriptlet:
`stay`: This tells the scriplet to stay and act on DOM
changes, whiĺe the default behavior is to act only once
when the document becomes interactive.
`complete`: This tells the scriplet to start acting only
when the document is complete, i.e. once all secondary
resources have been loaded, while the default is to start
acting when the document is interactive -- which is earlier
than when the document is complete.
Example:
...##+js(remove-attr, class, .j-mini-player, stay)
When no-fetch-if scriptlet is used without argument, the
parameters passed to no-fetch-if will be output to the
console, as `uBO: fetch([...list of arguments...])`.
The new scriptlet allows to defuse calls to fetch() by returning
a promise which always resolve to an empty response.
There is only one argument, which is a space-separated list
of conditions which must be ALL fulfilled in order for the
defusing to take place.
Each condition is a pair of property name and property value
separated by a column. Valid property names are those
documented as valid `init` options:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowOrWorkerGlobalScope/fetch
The URL of the fetch() is a special case and does not have to
be associated with a property name. Example of usage:
...##+js(no-fetch-if, method:HEAD)
Which means: defuse the call to fetch() if there is an
explicit option which contains `HEAD`. Another example:
...##+js(no-fetch-if, adsbygoogle.js)
Which means: defuse the call to fetch() if the URL contains
`adsbygoogle.js`. Multiple conditions can be provided:
...##+js(no-fetch-if, adsbygoogle.js method:HEAD)
If at least one condition does not match, the defusing will
not take place.
The string against which to match can be a literal regular
expression:
...##+js(no-fetch-if, /adsbygoogle.js$/ method:/HEAD|POST/)
Additonally, the following deprecated scriplets have been
removed:
- requestAnimationFrame-if.js
- setInterval-defuser.js
- setTimeout-logger.js
