Add-ons • Question for those using JustOff's uBo

I'd urge all of you to:

1. Carefully backup the various sub-sections (export My Filters, My Rules etc.). Also export the main settings ("Back up to file") which contain everything, but do NOT reimport that. Keep it only as a reference for your filterlist selections, they are listed somewhere in there. You could also take a screenshot of your Filterlist section, as a visual guide.
2. Uninstall JustOff's version asap: malicious/badware list is not working, amongst others.
3: Remove all relevant about:config entires
4. Close Pale Moon and delete the YourProfile\extension-data\ublock0.sqlite file
5. Install either UCyborg's or AstroSkipper's version.
6. Make sure to not add outdated or abandoned filterlists in your new uBO (JustOff's version includes some of these). Leave the first, "Built-in" section as-is and enabled. It should update properly.
7. Optionally install RealityRipple's excellent deCDN while you're at it. More info in this topic.

These important uBO Built-in filters will now auto-update, along with several other fixes. Yes, mostly filterlist-related fixes but still valid, relevant and important ones.

The reality is, uBO on Pale Moon died the day Gorhill dropped support.

I understand what you're saying, but it's a bit grim and exaggerated. We are all using it to great effect for years. There are no important signs of functionality loss. Sure, a new developer/maintainer would be nice. JustOff coming back would be great too, given those circumstances.

It still works just fine though.
