posted 3 years agoThe "Purge all caches" button was causing people to download multi MBs of filter lists with no guarantee that the fix was present in any these lists. There is no need for that crude way of updating filter lists:
- Differential updates ensure you have most recent filters multiple times per day instead of once every 6 days
- In case a fix is added to a list and is immediately needed by a user, we provide a click-to-update link in support channels to guarantee you receive the fix with minimal bandwidth burden
Keep in mind uBO is not monetized and we can't afford to end up having to pay tens of thousands of US dollars to a CDN providers to host the lists -- this would be the end of the project.
Update 2024-01-18:
The updated anti-blocker has no effect on uBO, no fix needs to be added to the lists, so something else in your browser is causing this, and re-downloading all the lists would have accomplished nothing except pointlessly consumes bandwidth of the server.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Nondefault, 4 days agoThe gold standard for privacy and ad/content blocking. If you only install one addon to your browser, this is the most important to have.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13445512, 5 days agoFlawless. Also enjoy that it skips youtube ads. I just love that THEY arent getting ad revenue. Im sure THEY will find a way to destroy this.

- Rated 5 out of 5by flamboyantwinkle17, 7 days agoArguably the best ad/content blocker available for any web browser. While the user interface could benefit from some refinement, I’m being overly critical here.
