[1.27.2] - 2026-08-10

Fixed

  • The in-app ad blocker now actually blocks. Two compounding defects kept
    it from doing its job:
    • Real filter lists are bundled with the app. The blocker previously
      fetched EasyList/EasyPrivacy/uBO lists from the network on first run and
      silently degraded to a ~40-domain list when that fetch failed. The lists
      are now fetched at build time by scripts/fetch-filter-lists.mjs, shipped
      in every installer, and parsed locally, so the packaged app has full
      coverage with no runtime network dependency. The serialized engine cache is
      keyed to the list contents and stale caches are pruned, so a refreshed
      bundle can never reuse an engine built from an older one.
    • Reopening the Browser page no longer silently disables blocking.
      Electron keeps a single webRequest listener per event per session, and the
      fallback listener was re-registered on every webview attach, replacing the
      engine's own listener. Because the engine's enable call is idempotent, the
      replacement then deferred to an engine listener that no longer existed.
      The fallback now registers once per session.

Added

  • The custom blocklist accepts real filter syntax. Alongside hosts-file and
    plain-domain entries, the custom list now accepts uBlock Origin / EasyList
    rules (network and cosmetic), so pointing it at a real filter list does
    something instead of silently ignoring every line.
