July 2026 (2026-07) – uBlockOrigin/uAssets: Strengthened user protection by expanding the badware domain filter and maintaining a tight change-tracking process. This month’s work focused on a targeted security enhancement and clear contribution traceability to support rapid risk mitigation.

May 2026: Enhanced security filtering in uAssets by updating the badware.txt database to include new entries for identified badware and scams. The change strengthens automated detection of malicious sites, reducing exposure to phishing and drive-by threats. The work was executed with clear commit traceability to issues #33055 and #33056, supporting governance and auditability.

July 2025 monthly summary focused on stabilizing the domain watchlist workflow in Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector by disabling NXDOMAIN-domain entries identified as problematic and by correcting a misnamed disable flag in watched_nses.yml. Implemented changes for the apktunnel.com entry with commits eccbfc7001c12e971f6f2fbe5d16fd59830e0466 and 8b2607b4108fce2830a607ccbc892c1966e74cf9. These updates improved the reliability of domain blocking, reduced configuration risk, and enhanced detection fidelity. Result: more robust NXDOMAIN handling, lower maintenance overhead, and clearer visibility into domain watchlist behavior across releases.
