µBlock 0.3.1.0

Closed as fixed:

• Videos don't work on some websites
  • A new filter with a very narrow purpose has been added to address the specific issue
  • Note that the bug was not manifesting if using "hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers" list -- because it blocked the problematic request, adm.fwmrm.net/crossdomain.xml
  • "hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers" is a really good list to enable
  • However since I do not really have the resource to deal with site breakage, I can't enable this list out of the box, as I have no idea what level of breakage it causes (I browse a limited set of sites personally)
  • But I strongly suggest its use, it really reduces your exposure to a lot of servers which purpose if to serve ads, tracks, etc.
  • I strongly suggest also "Dan Pollock’s hosts file" and "MVPS HOSTS", these are all high quality lists, reducing exposure to unwanted servers.
  • I have been using these three multipurpose lists since the beginning and I haven't come across any problem really, and in worst case, whitelist the site where a problem might occur.
  • Depends of your browsing habits I suppose. But they block a lot of requests that EasyList et al. won't block.
• Find best approach to allow purging the cache for external lists
  • Currently, custom subscriptions are hard-coded to update every two days
  • Some users have their own lists, and they might want to force a refresh when they make changes
  • This fix addresses this: you can force a subscribed list to be fetched from the remote server by purging the copy cached locally
