## INSTALL
|
|
|
|
#### Chromium
|
|
|
|
- Download and unzip `ublock0_{version}.zip` ([latest release desirable](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases)).
|
|
- Rename the unzipped directory to `ublock`
|
|
- When you later update manually, replace the **content** of the `ublock` folder with the **content** of the latest zipped version.
|
|
- This will ensure that all the extension settings will be preserved
|
|
- As long as the extension loads **from same folder path from which it was originally installed**, all your settings will be preserved.
|
|
- Go to chromium/chrome *Extensions*.
|
|
- Click to check *Developer mode*.
|
|
- Click *Load unpacked extension...*.
|
|
- In the file selector dialog:
|
|
- Select the directory `ublock` which was created above.
|
|
- Click *Open*.
|
|
|
|
The extension will now be available in your chromium/chromium-based browser.
|
|
|
|
Remember that you have to update manually also. For some users, updating manually is actually an advantage because:
|
|
- You can update when **you** want
|
|
- If ever a new version sucks, you can easily just re-install the previous one
|
|
|
|
#### Firefox
|
|
|
|
Although uBlock Origin is a restartless addon, I found installing a newer version over an older one often will glitch the installation. These steps always worked fine:
|
|
|
|
- Download `ublock0_{version}.xpi` ([latest release desirable](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases)).
|
|
- Uninstall current uBlock Origin if already installed
|
|
- Quit Firefox completely
|
|
- Launch Firefox
|
|
- Drag and drop the previously downloaded `ublock0_{version}.xpi` into Firefox
