What's Changed

More Control

• iCloud Ordering (45c0f36d, 238c6ae1) Filter and userscript order now syncs across devices. Reset Ordering restores the defaults across your devices too.
• Cosmetic Filtering by Site (5f79cfb7) Choose where cosmetic filtering applies, or exclude specific sites while keeping network blocking on.
• Per-list Automatic Updates (1b72f810, d2782dd9) Each URL-based filter list has its own Automatic Updates switch. Your choices sync and are included in backups.
• Per-list Site Exclusions (6d78f9fa, 2a895cbf) Site Settings shows which lists exclude each site, and every edit stays undoable.

Imports & Interface

• Rebuilt Add Sheets (15db8148, 78040461, 90632ade) Native URL, Text and File tabs, an import review step with editable metadata, and bulk URL imports from text files.
• Source Editor (2bfaf00e) One editor for rules and script content, with Undo, Redo, Paste, Search and Wrap.
• Settings at a Glance (1e8455ad, 423b60a8) Rule Capacity, Next Update and iCloud Sync summaries, plus Pause Blocking in the Settings toolbar.
• Info Panels & Toolbars (5dd66184, d1aac55f, 540b10dd, e73a80b4) Better-anchored Mac popovers, native sheet navigation, Dynamic Type icon sizing and a standard Show Enabled Only toggle.

Blocking & Reliability

• Safari Rule Compatibility (c95bcf6c, 574603d0, 5997659b) Uppercase domains no longer make Safari reject a blocker. Unsupported cosmetic selectors and uBO remove-attribute/class rules are handled through wBlock Scripts.
• Large-list Site Exclusions (d5566e68, [#925]) Fixed a compilation failure when excluding sites from large lists such as AdGuard Tracking Protection.
• Anti-adblock Popups (aa89ebcb, [#895]) Blocks the scrolling-lock popup on How-To Geek and related sites.
• Safari 17 Popup (b55798cd, [#896]) Fixed the extension popup failing to load.
• Early Page Loads (ba381852, 502135b7, 465daa0c) More reliable rules and userscript startup when the app is slow to respond or Safari preloads a page before opening its tab.
• Update & Apply Behavior (eb5868b0, f9ecf610, b8019a08) Deferred iOS updates finish when the app opens. Apply without updates no longer downloads missing lists, and background applies show a spinner.
• Deleted Userscripts (16e7639a, [#930]) Fixed deleted scripts reappearing after deletion.
• Custom-list Storage (5d89a671) A custom list sharing a built-in list's name no longer reads or deletes the built-in list's downloaded file.
• Userscript Downloads (ebe18692, 0966b0f9, 3fa04195, 77a4ed69) Rejects HTML responses, uses exact built-in mirrors as fallbacks, and preserves custom YouTube Classic sources and curated metadata.
• Backups & Safari Setup (a57ee911) Restoring during onboarding continues to Safari setup. Backups also preserve the Filters and Userscripts show-active toggles.
• Clearer Results & Errors (51770035, a8a82e72) No-updates results are dismissible alerts, and compilation logs retain WebKit's actual error details.

Filter Catalog & Languages

• Regional Lists (31231c8c, d4d835a5, 21103a4b) Regional lists appear once with their languages. Custom regional lists can be assigned languages, and Norwegian setup selects the Nordic list correctly.
• Catalog Cleanup (73ca94b9, dca527f8, bfa9fc8d, 2aded4c3) Updated regional recommendations and retired overlapping or discontinued lists. Enabled retired lists are preserved as custom lists.
• Download Fallbacks & Confirmation (a353e848, 727adadf, 16ab3734) AdGuard Mobile Filter has backup download sources. Filter info lists fallback URLs, and enabling HaGeZi Pro Mini asks for confirmation.
• Translations (8aec81ee, 90eead51, d95be346, 7236262d) Updated Japanese, German, Greek and Turkish translations.

Performance & Polish

• Generic Rules Toggle (4bc3915a) Drop generic hiding rules and keep the site-specific ones.
• Faster Browsing (#873, 3c3e802c, 160ecf26, b00347d3, 9c1e6d37) Site-specific hiding rules load once per page, and No Autoplay only loads while it's on.
• Faster Apply (21d12234, afd03214, 0e022e8a, 11bbc02e) Lists stop re-rendering during Apply, and compiling is quicker on Macs with spare cores.
• Userscript or Userstyle (03e3d511) Adding a script asks which kind it is.
• Redirect Stand-ins (cd31256e) $redirect rules get their stand-in resources through wBlock Scripts.
• AdGuard Catalog Match (#958, 370a2da4, 5b8b0c2b) Filter names and download mirrors follow AdGuard's registry, listed in the same order.
• Regional Lists (0293c27d, b92c2221, 8a221e15, fccdd29b) Setup shows regional lists in one list with native language names, and custom lists can name any language.
• Settings Safety (e8f3bf9f) Unsaved settings survive when another part of wBlock writes first.
• Backup Restore (4809f07f, [#938]) Restoring drops custom lists the backup doesn't have.
• Onboarding Check (2f9c18b7, [#959]) The content blocker step only counts as done once Safari reports all five on.
• Get Turns Scripts On (a77de4c6) Pressing Get on a userscript now enables it.
• Translations (682e21db, 2145f653, 4528a7e2, 1983db5e) Updates for German and Japanese. Greek got one too.
