• Extension Content Verification flag in Chrome Beta, Canary breaks HTTP Switchboard, uBlock
  • Problem was caused because of zero-length files in the extension: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=399251

No change for existing users.

Closed as fixed:

• Simplify installation: allow-all/block-ex by default

• Closed as fixed:
  • Own block rules lost after update to v. 1.0.0.3
    • Race condition could result in lost of data when v1.0.0.3 was launched first time
    • Conditions for the bug to occur:
      • You had to have custom rules in both "Your block rules" and "Your allow rules" fields
      • HTTPSB detected a version change to v 1.0.0.3
    • The only way to recover lost data (likelihood is data in "Your block rules" will be lost) is to restore from a backup.

• Closed as fixed:
  • "Replace FileSystem API with chrome.storage.local"
    • Relying on FileSystem API to cache remote assets causes Chrome 37 and above to emit this warning: "This extension may have been corrupted by malware" (see Chromium issue #389879)
    • As a consequence the extension was disabled, with no way to dismiss the false positive.
    • The fix is to no longer rely on FileSystem API, but rather on chrome.storage.local, which is all fine so long as the unlimitedStorage permission is set.

Also, by the way: The road ahead

It is suggested you start "converting" yourself to the future (HTTPSB is currently quite behind with regard to improvements made to pattern-based filtering engine used by µBlock:

• Install µBlock
• In the "Ubiquitous rules" tab of HTTP Switchboard, uncheck:
  • "Parse and enforce Adblock+ complex filters"
  • "Parse and enforce Adblock+ element hiding filters"
  • Any ABP-compatible filter list, that is, all lists from Spam404 and others following.
• In short, let µBlock do the pattern-based filtering.
  • For hosts file-like lists, there is no harm in having both selected in µBlock and HTTPSB, you shouldn't worry about these, as hostname-based filtering is very well optimized in both µBlock and HTTPSB.

• Translation work from tailHey, r35p3ct and mikhaelkh.
• Closed as fixed:
  • Hyperlink-auditing not being counted (Stats tab)?
