GitHub - gorhill/uBlock: uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean.

• Firefox: Review pending
  • uBO works best on Firefox.
    
• Chromium: Submission pending
  • [b]Note: I am unable to publish a new version in the CWS, the version 1.48.0 went back to Pending review status after I raised the distribution to 100%, despite that version being currently distributed by the CWS. I suggest you just move to a browser which supports timely update -- the CWS is a burden when it comes to publish emergency revisions.[/b]
    
• Edge: Install from Microsoft Store: uBlock Origin - Microsoft Edge Addons
  • The Microsoft Store version of uBO is published by Nicole Rolls
    
• Opera: Review pending
  

At the moment Firefox, Edge and Opera are on 1.48.2 and Chrome is stuck at 1.48.0.

Fixes / changes​

• More aggressively clear the unprocessed-request status
  
• Provide explanation of yellowish toolbar icon badge in message section in popup panel
  
• Properly detect incorrect usage of CSS combinators
