If the Python adblock library is available, it is now used to
integrate Brave's Rust adblocker library for improved adblocking
based on ABP-like filter lists (such as EasyList).
If it is unavailable, qutebrowser falls back to host-blocking,
i.e. the same blocking technique it used before this release.
As part of this, various settings got renamed, see "Changed"
below.
Note: If the adblock dependency is available, qutebrowser will
ignore custom host blocking via the blocked-hosts config file or
file:/// URLs supplied as host blocking lists. You will need to
either migrate those to ABP-like lists, or set
content.blocking.method to "both".
Note for openSUSE users: The adblock library has not been packaged
yet due to the difficulty of packaging its Rust dependencies.
Removed
* The --enable-webengine-inspector flag (which was only needed for
Qt 5.10 and below) is now dropped. With Qt 5.11 and newer, the
inspector/devtools are enabled unconditionally.
* Support for moving qutebrowser data from versions before v1.0.0
has been removed.
* The --old flag for :config-diff has been removed. It used to show
customized options for the old pre-v1.0 config files (in order to
aid migration to v1.0).
* The :inspector command which was deprecated in v1.13.0 (in favor
of :devtools) is now removed.
Deprecated
* Several commands have been renamed for consistency and/or easier
grouping of related commands. Their old names are still
available, but deprecated and will be removed in qutebrowser
