How to revert to previous version of Basilisk?

Unread post by Hitchhiker » 2018-04-24, 10:46

Basilisk updated to v2018.04.24 a few minutes ago whereby a couple of my addons have become incompatible. These are as follows:
  • CanvasBlocker 0.4.4b
    I don't care about cookies
Since I live in the Netherlands, I'm now being bombarded with cookie notices which were previously blocked by the addon. Similarly, my browser fingerprint has now become visible on every site visited.

Neither of these two changes are acceptable to me and I'd like to revert to the previous version of Basilisk v2018.03.21.

Is that possible?

I just updated to Basilisk 2018.04.24, too.

When checking my extensions, it mentioned that ublock origin and a couple others are incompatible, but the update went ahead OK. As far as I'm able to see, even the extensions marked as incompatible are working.

Good.

Ummmm, your signature indicates you're still using PM 27.7.1. We're up to 27.9.0 :)

Letting the wizard check will in the normal case reinstall the affected extensions automatically (I don't care about cookies at least did for me, not using uBO myself).

Simply reinstalling the extensions should fix it.

As an aside. the first response always being the knee-jerk reaction without even trying to revert to an unsupported older version is unwise.

Always try to fix with the current version FIRST.

The wizard offered an update for Privacy Badger which I also use, but not for the others. But manually reinstalling them appears to have done the trick.

Thanks.
