Deploying uBlock Origin: configuration
uBO supports being configured through central policies, see browser documentation for administrators:
- Chromium: "Configuring Apps and Extensions by Policy"
- Firefox: "Managed storage manifests"
The properties in the toSet
branch will wholly replace the corresponding local settings. Currently, the following subset of properties are supported:
The purpose of the hiddenSettings
property is to set the values of various advanced settings.
Each entry in the array is an array consisting of a pair of name-value strings. Each name string must be a supported advanced setting, and each value string must properly resolve to a supported value.
Every valid entry will be used to overwrite the corresponding default advanced setting, and will also become read-only, i.e. the user won't be able to change it.
Example, to remove the ability to configure uBO from the popup panel:
{
"toSet": {
"hiddenSettings": [
[ "popupPanelDisabledSections", "28" ]
]
}
}
The trustedSiteDirectives
property is an array of string, which of which must resolve into a valid trusted-site directive, used to dictate where uBO must be disabled. All the directives will be used to wholly replace the local trusted-site directives, including the built-in ones.
See documentation on how to create valid trusted-site directives: "How to mark a web site as trusted"
The properties in the toAdd
branch will append to the already present local settings. Currently, the following subset of properties are supported:
The trustedSiteDirectives
property is an array of string, which of which must resolve into a valid trusted-site directive, used to dictate where uBO must be disabled. The directives will be appended to the local ones.
