Deploying uBlock Origin
Proposal for integration/unit testing
uBlock Origin Core (Node.js):
- Split out uBO core functionality into separate module
Troubleshooting:
- Privileged Pages
- Software known to have uninstalled uBlock Origin
- The removed element reappears when you reload the page
- Read carefully if using uBO/webext on legacy Firefox
Good external guides:
