µBlock 0.2.0.0

New:

• Element picker to interactively select elements to block on a web page.
• New cosmetic filter syntax: entity-based cosmetic filters.
• More translation work from contributors on https://crowdin.net/project/ublock

Closed as fixed:

• Adwords ads appear quickly, then disappear
  • A new type of cosmetic filter has been defined: "entity-based" filters, which allows to create filters for a specific "entity", where "entity" is defined as "the domain name minus the public suffix".
  • Concretely, this allows to define one single cosmetic filter which will work with google.com, google.ca, google.com.br, etc.
  • Whereas before, it would have been to tedious to repeat the same set of cosmetic filters for each domain name variant, hence forcing the EasyList maintainer to declare these filters as generic.
  • These filters are specific to µBlock, but down the road maybe the syntax will be adopted by the community.
  • The problem this new filter syntax solves is to be able to create filter specific enough for these to be injected early in the page load timeline.
• Select element to block
  • See Element picker.
