experiment with compression
- collate together specific filters with same base domain
- replace string-based hash to integer-based hash
- revisit code to benefit from ES6-specific syntax
- Default to being detached
- Default to "Current tab"
- Append current tab title to "Current tab" entry
- Avoid iterating through all tabs when no change
A new filtering class has been created: "static extended filtering".
This new class is an umbrella class for more specialized filtering
engines:
- Cosmetic filtering
- Scriptlet filtering
- HTML filtering
HTML filtering is available only on platforms which support modifying
the response body on the fly, so only Firefox 57+ at the moment.
With the ability to modify the response body, HTML filtering has
been introduced: removing elements from the DOM before the source
data has been parsed by the browser.
A consequence of HTML filtering ability is to bring back script tag
filtering feature.
- badfilter option was no longer working following last refactoring
changes.
- performance work:
- reduce duplication of large strings.
- new lighter FilterBucket to use when only 2 filters: FilterPair.
* refactoring assets management code
* finalizing refactoring of assets management
* various code review of new assets management code
* fix#2281
* fix#1961
* fix#1293
* fix#1275
* fix update scheduler timing logic
* forward compatibility (to be removed once 1.11+ is widespread)
* more codereview; give admins ability to specify own assets.json
* "assetKey" is more accurate than "path"
* fix group count update when building dom incrementally
* reorganize content (order, added URLs, etc.)
* ability to customize updater through advanced settings
* better spinner icon
Now splitting high-high generics in two subgroups: one group for
simple selectors, another group for complex selectors. Turns out
the great majority of high-high generics are simple selectors, and
simple selectors can be applied incrementally with DOM changes, as
opposed to complex selectors. This brings in a significant perf.
improvement in the processing of high-high generics (previously,
all high-high generic selectors were processed as one big complex
selector).
Interpretation/implementation of exception filters with negated
hostname(s) has been revised: no block filter is implied anymore
for such filters. At time of writing I found only 10 such filters
in EasyList, and none in commonly used filter lists.
part of the package. The code here is to ensure a seamless transition from
local assets which have been converted to remote assets. The only side
effect to expect is that the selfie, if any, will be invalidated.
