<pre wrap="">Hello,
one of the most important add-ons for me in Thunderbird is uBlock Origin
(which is one of the most popular add-ons for Firefox). It's way more
powerful than other blockers (like Adblock Plus) as its Dynamic Filtering
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide">https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-quick-guide</a>
makes it possible to provide a very fine-grained control of what is
allowed in RSS feeds and HTML mails. As a result it is, e.g., very
effective in stopping email tracking.
The legacy version of uBlock Origin works well in Thunderbird 52.x but
obviously no longer in Thunderbird 60 beta (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3698">https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3698</a>). Unfortunately, its
author gorhill says that support for the legacy version for Thunderbird
will not happen (see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/117#issuecomment-381641188">https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/117#issuecomment-381641188</a>).
On the other hand according to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Add-ons_Guide_57">https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird/Add-ons_Guide_57</a> webextension
support is not yet available.
This leads to the unfortunate situation that the legacy version of uBO
will soon *no longer* work while the webextension version will *not yet*
work in Thunderbird.
So my question is: Can someone modify the legacy version to make it work
in TB 60? I know that Jörg has done this for some other add-ons -
perhaps he can step in here, too? This would be highly appreciated :-)
The latest legacy version is avialable from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases">https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases</a> as uBlock0.firefox.xpi.
Best regards,
Thomas
