As of upstream sell the project to unknown developers, I refuse to maintain the project for stranger(s) that never show up to introduce themselves to their users.
NOTE: Unlike upstream, Nano Adblocker on this port is under my control and not related to any upstream's developer(s)!
For more details or questions, visit my issue ticket. If you can't read English, use a translator or raise your problem on this issue ticket such that other volunteer can help.
- Backup settings: In Nano Adblocker, Go to
Dashboard>Settings>Backup to files. (Optional ) - Backup Filter Lists: Take a screenshot of your Filter List such that you can recover later. (Optional)
- Disable/Remove Nano Adblocker: In Firefox, Go to
Add-onsand Disable Nano Adblocker. You may also remove it later if you sure everything are backup and reversible.
Try uBlock Origin where Nano Adblocker forked from. Their interfaces are similar and quite easy to familiar with. This article explains the difference between two extensions. It is recommended to manually restore by copying settings and filters to fresh uBO. But in case you are too lazy to restore manually, you may still perform:
- In uBlock Origin, Go to
Dashboard>Settings - Click
Restore from file...and choose the file you backup from previous section. - Read migration note to watch out incompatibility for avoiding unexpected behavior.
Since uBlock Origin and Nano Adblocker do not share exactly same built-in filter list. In case restore cannot fully recover all filter list, you may manually add back according to the screenshot you take from previous section.
Of course, you are free to choose any ad-blocker you want! Above is just my personal recommendation.
No problem, you can still use it. Filter list can still be updated and you can use it as usual.
But it is not recommended because you won't receive update anymore. No fix will be released when you experience issue(s). In future, you may not be able to use filter rule that is written in new syntax which is released after the retirement.
v1.0.0.154 will be the final version of Nano Adblocker. Extension will be unlisted from AMO one week after released, no more new installation from AMO. You may still install from my repository after that day if you really want Nano Adblocker back.
It is highly recommended to install alternative instead of continue using Nano Adblocker, however.
Thanks for all volunteer that contribute to this project. Also thanks for users reporting issue to benefit other users as well. Thanks for all users choose Nano Adblocker as their content-blocker. Hope everyone can still enjoy clean web site in future.
Just another adblocker on Firefox
Nano Adblocker is based on uBlock Origin.
This repository contains only auto-update script and documentations.
The code of the builder can be found in the Nano Core 2 repository.
The built code can be found in the release.
You need Firefox version 55 (57 for Android) or above to install this extension, but require 57+ for HTML filtering.

Click .xpi file to download and install from link below.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT install both versions.
Note: If you decide to pair with Nano Defender, please install both extensions from same source. That is: either both from AMO OR both from GitHub. Otherwise, you will have to go through Step 2 of extra installation step (but not other steps).
