Extension will be auto-updated after browser restart! (when available for your platform)

If you want to update manually:

• Do not use links from release page "Assets" section - these are not signed.
• Use add-on store or links in release description on GitHub releases page when they are available (basically - they will be add-on store links).
• In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, Issue #717.

Q: Why no release for Firefox yet?

A: Review pending.

uBO is a recommended extension on AMO, and as such it must undergo a formal code review each time a new version is published.

Q: Why Chrome/Chromium is not updating uBlock Origin?

A: deployed to 10% of users as of July 20.

Auto update will occur in stages - few percent every day - to spot and react on possible bugs.

Q: When Opera version will be updated?

A: Submission pending.

Usually it's submitted a week after bug-free version is published in AMO.

Q: When Edge Chromium version in the Microsoft Store will be updated?

A: 1.51.0 is available on Edge Add-ons as of July 20.

Microsoft Store submission is controlled by u/nikrolls.

This is official version and will be kept updated, see Issue #890 (comment) and following comments.

Warning: importing profile from Chrome may cause issues - you may need to reinstall uBO on Edge to fix this. You can transfer settings by saving them to file in uBO Dashboard -> bottom of the Settings tab.
