New managed setting:
"disabledFeatures": {
"title": "User interface features to disable",
"description": "A list of tokens, each of which correspond to a user interface feature to disable.",
"type": "array",
"items": { "type": "string" }
}
Supported tokens:
- `dashboard`: Prevent access to all dashboard settings
- `filteringMode`: Prevent changes to the default filtering mode,
or the current filtering mode of any site

Consequently, AdGuard URL Tracking Protection (AUTP) has been
added to the set of available filter lists.
However, removeparam= equivalent DNR rules can only be enforced
when granting uBOL broad permissions. If broad permissions are
not granted, removeparam= equivalent DNR rules are ignored.
Exception removeparam= filters are not supported, and these are
present in AUTP and meant to unbreak some websites which are
known to break as a result of removing query parameters.
This is issue might be mitigated in the future by making the
conversion from filters to DNR rules more complicated but this
can never replace the accuracy of uBO's filtering engine being
able to fully enforce arbitrary exception removeparam= filters.
Also, it is not possible to translate regex-based removeparam=
values to DNR rules, so these are dropped at conversion time.
As with other filters to DNR rules conversion, the converter
coallesce many distinct removeparam= filters into fewer DNR
rules.
First iteration of adding scriptlet support. As with cosmetic
filtering, scriptlet niijection occurs only on sites for which
uBO Lite was granted extended permissions.
At the moment, only three scriptlets are supported:
- abort-current-script
- json-prune
- set-constant
More will be added in the future.
Specific plain CSS cosmetic filters are now supported.
Cosmetic filtering will occur only after the user explicitly
grant uBO extended permissions for a given site, so that it
can inject CSS on the site.
A new button in the popup panel allows a user to grant/revoke
extended permissions to/from uBO Lite for the current site.
More capabilities will be carefully added for when extended
permissions are granted on a site, so specific cosmetic
filtering through plain CSS is the first implemented capability.
Generic and procedural cosmetic filtering is not implemented.
The current implementation for plain CSS cosmetic filters is
through declarative content injection, which does not require
the service worker to be alive, the browser takes care to
inject the cosmetic filters.
However declarative CSS injection does not support user
styles, so the injected cosmetic filters are "weak". I consider
this is a browser issue, since user styles are supported by
Chromium, there is just no way in the API to specify user
styles for the injected content.
Also:
- Fixed dark theme issues
- Added Steven Black's hosts file
Keep in mind all this is very experimental and implementation
details in this release may (will) greatly change in the future.
