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

If you want to update manually:

• Do NOT use links from the release page's "Assets" section - these are not signed.

• Use your add-on store or links in release description on the GitHub releases page when they are available.

  • Firefox will have a (signed) direct install link. Other browsers will link to their uBO extension store pages.

• In some cases, installation may be blocked until browser restart. This is protection against accidental mid-session reloads, .

As a side note, the subreddit has reached 150K members on Apr 9, 2026 and 151K on May 2.

While reddit is bent on removing those stats everywhere in favor of weekly activity, the member count still hasn't been removed internally for moderators. That said, before we reach the next major milestone of 200K, it might be gone too. This is likely our last member growth announcement.

Thanks for growing the sub with us, while it still counts :)

About the Firefox version:
In the last few months Mozilla has had some worrisome . The last uBO version that got accepted was beta 0, released on March 13 and accepted quickly on March 15. Next beta (1) was released on March 14 and... we're still waiting for a review. It's been 8 weeks. There are 6 unreviewed dev versions (including a release candidate) in the queue. It's possible that each new submission knocks uBO further down the queue AMO had likely set up.
Based on that theory, uBO 1.71 was not submitted to AMO yet. It hasn't been properly tested due to these delays and we'll likely be forced to wait until prior dev releases clear the queue first.

Please do not ask when the FF version will be released. It's out of our hands.

Edit: Irrelevant now. It's out on all browsers.
