[Release notes salvaged from https://github.com/uBlock-LLC/uBlock/releases/tag/0.9.2.0]

New:

• Element picker: ability to point-and-click to create wildcard-based network filters
  • Brought about as a result of issue #1044: "non technical user [...] doesnt know how to [create wildcard-based filters]"
  • Roughly, if you click more than one image from one web page, uBlock will derive a network filter which will apply to all the clicked images.
  • Kind of difficult to put in words, so here are videos:

Closed as fixed:

Chromium

• Blocking differrent kind of pop-ups

Firefox for Android (Fennec)

• ublock options ui doesnt fit on screen
• Blocking (off) when opening new tabs in Firefox from 3rd party apps
  • This also fixes:
  • Number of connected domains makes no sense

Firefox

• "Make use of context menu where appropriate" not enforced nor remembered
• Empty buttons in addon options
• Option buttons sometimes empty in addon properties

Core

• uBlock slow/with delay blocking ads (banners) and elements on page twitch
• Options-only filter is not working
• abp:subscribe links on adblockplus.me do not work with new uBlock install
• Cosmetic filter not working after refreshing the page
  • This was caused by an invalid cosmetic filter: custom filters from ABP were imported using plain cut & paste.
    • uBlock now support importing an ABP backup through the "Import and append" button in the "My filters" pane. This ensures proper import.
    • Additionally, uBlock will now discard invalid cosmetic filters when filter lists are compiled.
