The ids/classes from html/body elements will leave out
looking up lowly generic cosmetic filters made of a single
identifier.
This does not absolutely guarantee that html/body elements
will never be targeted, but it should greatly mitigate the
probability that this erroneously happens.

New procedural operator: `:matches-path(...)`
Description: this is a all-or-nothing passthrough operator, which
on/off behavior is dictated by whether the argument match the
path of the current location. The argument can be either plain
text to be found at any position in the path, or a literal regex
against which the path is tested.
Whereas cosmetic filters can be made specific to whole domain,
the new `:matches-path()` operator allows to further narrow
the specificity according to the path of the current document
lcoation.
Typically this procedural operator is used as first operator in
a procedural cosmetic filter, so as to ensure that no further
matching work is performed should there be no match against the
current path of the current document location.
Example of usage:
example.com##:matches-path(/shop) p
Will hide all `p` elements when visiting `https://example.com/shop/stuff`,
but not when visiting `https://example.com/` or any other page
on `example.com` which has no instance of `/shop` in the path part
of the URL.
So as to allow nodejs usage to better deal with
out of date serialization/compilation.
Additionally, use FilterImportant() only when a
"block-important" filter is stored in the "block" realm.
When matching a network request in the static network filtering
engine ("snfe"), these are the possible outcomes, from most
to least likely:
- No block
- Block
- Unblock ("exception" filter overriding the block)
- Block-important ("important" filter override the unblock)
Hence why the matching in the snfe always check for a match in
the "block" realm, and the "unblock" realm would be checked
if and only if there was a match in the "block" realm.
However the "block-important" realm was always matched against
first, and when a match in that realm was found, there would
be no need to check in other realms since nothing can override
the "important" option. The problem with this approach though
is that matches in the "block-important" realm are most
unlikely, which means pointless work being done for vast
majority of network requests.
This commit makes it so that the "block-important" realm is
matched against ONLY when there is a matched "unblock" filter.
The result is a measurable improvement in the snfe-related
benchmarks (though given the numbers involved, end users won't
perceive a difference).
Somewhat related discussion which was the motivation to look
more into this:
https://github.com/cliqz-oss/adblocker/discussions/2170#discussioncomment-1168125
Whereas before the string segment was encoded as:
LL OOOOOOOOOOOO
where L are the upper 8 bits and used to encode the length
of the segment, and O are the lower 24 bits and used to
encode the offset of the string data in the character
buffer, the new code encode as follow:
OOOOOOOOOOOO LL
And furthermore the most significant bit of the length
LL is now used to mark whether the current string segment
is a label boundary.
This means a cell can't reference a segment longer then
127 characters. To work around this limitation for when a
segment is longer than 127 characters (a rare occurrence),
the algorithm will simply split the segment into multiple
adjacent cells.
As a result, there is no longer a need to encode
"boundariness" into special cells, which simplifies
both the storing and matching algorithms.
Additionally, added minimal documentation for the NPM
package on how to import and use HNTrieContainer as a
standalone API.
The erroneous test does not seem to interfere
with the proper functioning of the trie, due
to the fact that nodes are never split without
a OR node or boundary node being present.
The issue was found when undertaking a rewrite
of the algorithm to avoid having to create
boundary nodes.
In the static network filtering engine (snfe), the
compiling-related code was spread across two classes.
This commit makes it so that all the compiling-related
code is in FilterCompiler class, which clear purpose is
to compile raw filters into a form which can be persisted
and later fed to the snfe with no parsing overhead.
To compile raw static network filter, the new approach is:
snfe.createCompiler(parser);
Then for each single raw filter to compile:
compiler.compile(parser, writer);
The caller is responsible to keep a reference to the
compiler instance for as long as it is needed. This removes
the need for the clunky code used to keep an instance of
compiler alive in the snfe.
Additionally, snfe.tokenHistograms() has been moved to
benchmarks.js, as it has no dependency on the snfe, it's
just a utility function.
The code exported to nodejs package was revised to use modern
JavaScript syntax. A few issues were fixed at the same time.
The exported classes are:
- DynamicHostRuleFiltering
- DynamicURLRuleFiltering
- DynamicSwitchRuleFiltering
These related to the content the of "My rules" pane in the
uBlock Origin extension.

This change allows to add the redirect engine into the
nodejs package. The purpose of the redirect engine is to
resolve a redirect token into a path to a local resource,
to be used by the caller as wished.
Invalid URLs like "http://" and "http://foo@" trigger TypeErrors
when they are passed to the URL constructor. These TypeErrors
caused the scriptlet to stop processing subsequent noscript nodes
due to uncaught exceptions.
These exceptions are now caught to allow all noscript nodes to
be processed.

The various filtering engine benchmarking functions are best
isolated in their own file since they have specific
dependencies that should not be suffered by the filtering

filtering engine cores -- this allows to further reduce
or outright remove dependency on `µb`.

The changes are enough to fulfill the related issue.
A new platform has been added in order to allow for building
a NodeJS package. From the root of the project:
./tools/make-nodejs
This will create new uBlock0.nodejs directory in the
./dist/build directory, which is a valid NodeJS package.
From the root of the package, you can try:
node test
This will instantiate a static network filtering engine,
populated by easylist and easyprivacy, which can be used
to match network requests by filling the appropriate
filtering context object.
The test.js file contains code which is typical example
of usage of the package.
Limitations: the NodeJS package can't execute the WASM
versions of the code since the WASM module requires the
use of fetch(), which is not available in NodeJS.
This is a first pass at modularizing the codebase, and
while at it a number of opportunistic small rewrites
have also been made.

The syntax to remove response header is a special case
of HTML filtering, whereas the response headers are
targeted, rather than the response body:
example.com##^responseheader(header-name)
Where `header-name` is the name of the header to
remove, and must always be lowercase.
The removal of response headers can only be applied to
document resources, i.e. main- or sub-frames.
Only a limited set of headers can be targeted for
removal:
location
refresh
report-to
set-cookie
This limitation is to ensure that uBO never lowers the
security profile of web pages, i.e. we wouldn't want to
remove `content-security-policy`.
Given that the header removal occurs at onHeaderReceived
time, this new ability works for all browsers.
The motivation for this new filtering ability is instance
of website using a `refresh` header to redirect a visitor
to an undesirable destination after a few seconds.

Exception filters for `document` option are complying with
uBO's own semantic for `document` option, i.e. an exception
filter for `document` option will only allow to bypass a
block filter for `document` (either explicit or implicit)
and nothing else.
Exception filters using `document` option are *not*
compatible with ABP's interpretation of these filters.
Whereas in ABP the purpose of a `document` exception filter
is to wholly disable content blocking, in uBO the same
filter will just cause strict-blocking to be disabled while
leaving content blocking intact.
Additionally, the logger was fixed to properly report pages
which are being strict-blocked.
The procedural cosmetic filtering code has been split from
the content script code injected unconditionally and will
from now on be injected only when it is needed, i.e. when
there are procedural cosmetic filters to enforce.
The motivation for this is:
https://www.debugbear.com/blog/2020-chrome-extension-performance-report#what-can-extension-developers-do-to-keep-their-extensions-fast
Though uBO's content script injected unconditionally in all
pages/frames is relatively small, I still wanted to further
reduce the amount of content script code injected
unconditionally: The procedural cosmetic filtering code
represents roughly 14KB of code the browser won't have to
parse/execute unconditionally unless there exists procedural
cosmetic filters to enforce for a page or frame.
At the time the above article was published, the total
size of unconditional content scripts injected by uBO was
~101 KB, while after this commit, the total size will be
~57 KB (keeping in mind uBO does not minify and does not
remove comments from its JavaScript code).
Additionally, some refactoring on how user stylesheets are
injected so as to ensure that `:style`-based procedural
filters which are essentially declarative are injected
earlier along with plain, non-procedural cosmetic filters.

Forward compatiblity was broken due to `externalLists`
being converted into an Array from a string, i.e.
downgrading to uBO 1.32.4 was completely breaking uBO.
This commit restores `externalLists` as a string which
is what older versions of uBO expect.
A new property `importedLists` has been created to
hold the imported lists as an array, while
`externalLists` will be kept around for a while until
it is completely removed in some future.
The managed `userSettings` entry is an array of entries,
where each entry is a name/value pair encoded into an array
of strings.
The first item in the entry array is the name of a setting,
and the second item is the stringified value for the
setting.
This is a more convenient way for administrators to set
specific user settings. The settings set through
`userSettings` policy will always be set at uBO launch
time.
The new entry is an array of strings, each representing a
distinct line, and all entries are used to populate the
"My filters" pane.
This offers an more straightforward way for administrators
to specify a list of custom filters to use for all
installations.

This new entry is to make it easier for an

Patternless `queryprune` ar enow preserved as being

The following regex are not rejected as invalid when
using built-in regex objects:
/abc]/
/a7,18}/
/a{7,18/
However, as per documentation, they are not supposed to

such should be escaped:
/abc\]/
/a7,18\}/
/a\{7,18/

This commit fixes mouse double-click-and-drag operations,

Regex-based static network filters are those most likely to
cause performance degradation, and as such the best guard
against undue performance degradation caused by regex-based
filters is the ability to extract valid and good tokens
from regex patterns.
This commit introduces a complete regex parser so that the
static network filtering engine can now safely extract
tokens regardless of the complexity of the regex pattern.
The regex parser is a library imported from:
https://github.com/foo123/RegexAnalyzer
The syntax highlighter adds an underline to regex-based
filters as a visual aid to filter authors so as to avoid
mistakenly creating regex-based filters. This commit
further colors the underline as a warning when a regex-based
filter is found to be untokenizable.
Filter list authors are invited to spot these untokenizable
regex-based filters in their lists to verify that no
mistake were made for those filters, causing them to be
untokenizabke. For example, what appears to be a mistake:
/^https?:\/\/.*\/sw.js?.[a-zA-Z0-9%]{50,}/
Though the mistake is minor, the regex-based filter above
is untokenizable as a result, and become tokenizable when
the `.` is properly escaped:
/^https?:\/\/.*\/sw\.js?.[a-zA-Z0-9%]{50,}/
Filter list authors can use this search expression in the
asset viewer to find instances of regex-based filters:
/^(@@)?\/[^\n]+\/(\$|$)/
This should improve usability of uBO's hard-mode
and "relax blocking mode" operations. This is the
new default behavior.
The previous behavior of forcing a reload of the
page can be re-enabled by simply setting the `3p`
bit of the advanced setting `blockingProfiles`
to 1.

All matching `redirect-rule` directives will now be reported
in the logger, instead of just the effective one.
The highest-ranked redirect directive will be the one
effectively used for redirection. This way filter list
authors can see whether a lower priority redirect is
being overriden by a higher priority one.
The default priority has been changed to 10, so as to allow
more leeway to create lower ranked redirect directives.
Additonally, rendering of redirect directives with explicit
priority has been fixed in the logger, they will no longer
be rendered as unknown redirect tokens.
The header value is no longer implicitly a regex-based literal, but
a plain string against which the header name is compared. The value can
be set to a regex literal by bracing the header value with the usual
forward slashes, `/.../`.
Examples:
*$1p,strict3p,script,header=via:1.1 google
*$1p,strict3p,script,header=via:/1\.1\s+google/
The first form will cause a strict comparison with the value of the header
named `via` against the string `1.1 google`.
The second form will cause a regex-based test with the value of the header
named `via` against the regex `/1\.1\s+google/`.
The header value can be prepended with `~` to reverse the comparison:
*$1p,strict3p,script,header=via:~1.1 google
The header value is optional and may be ommitted to test only for the
presence of a specific header:
*$1p,strict3p,script,header=via

Negation character is `~` (instead of `!`).
Drop special anchor character `|` -- leading `|`
will be supported until no such filter is present
in uBO's own filter lists. For example, instance
of `queryprune=|ad` will have to be replaced with
`queryprune=/^ad/` (or `queryprune=ad` if the name
of the parameter to remove is exactly `ad`).
Align semantic with that of AdGuard's `removeparam=`,
except that specifying multiple `|`-separated names
is not supported.

`redirect=` filters with unresolvable resource token at
runtime will be discarded.
Additionally, the implicit priority is now set to 1
(was 0). The idea is to allow custom `redirect=` filters
to be used strictly as fallback `redirect=` filters in case
another `redirect=` filter is not picked up.
For example, one might create a `redirect=click2load.html:0`
filter, to be taken if and only if the blocked resource is
not already being redirected by another "official" filter
in one of the enabled filter lists.
Related issue:

Related commit:

It is not possible to achieve perfect compatiblity at this
point, but reasonable compatibility should be achieved for
a majority of instances of `removeparam=`.
Notable differences:
--------------------
uBO always matches in a case insensitive manner, there is
no need to ask for case-insensitivity, and no need to use
uppercase characters in `queryprune=` values.
uBO does not escape special regex characters since the
`queryprune=` values are always assumed to be literal
regex expression (leaving out the documented special
characters). This means `removeparam=` with characters
which are special regex characters won't be properly
translated and are unlikely to work properly in uBO.
For example, the `queryprune` value of a filter such as
`$removeparam=__xts__[0]` internally become the literal
regex `/__xts__[0]/`, and consequently would not match
a query parameter such as `...?__xts__[0]=...`.
Notes:
------
Additionally, for performance reason, when uBO encounter
a pattern-less `queryprune=` (or `removeparam=`) filter,
it will try to extract a valid pattern from the
`queryprune=` value. For instance, the following filter:
$queryprune=utm_campaign
Will be translated internally into:
utm_campaign$queryprune=utm_campaign
The logger will reflect this internal translation.
New filter options
==================
Strict partyness: `1P`, `3P`
----------------------------
The current options 1p/3p are meant to "weakly" match partyness, i.e. a
network request is considered 1st-party to its context as long as both the
context and the request share the same base domain.
The new partyness options are meant to check for strict partyness, i.e. a
network request will be considered 1st-party if and only if both the context
and the request share the same hostname.
For examples:
- context: `www.example.org`
- request: `www.example.org`
- `1p`: yes, `1P`: yes
- `3p`: no, `3P`: no
- context: `www.example.org`
- request: `subdomain.example.org`
- `1p`: yes, `1P`: no
- `3p`: no, `3P`: yes
- context: `www.example.org`
- request: `www.example.com`
- `1p`: no, `1P`: no
- `3p`: yes, `3P`: yes
The strict partyness options will be visually emphasized in the editor so as
to prevent mistakenly using `1P` or `3P` where weak partyness is meant to be
used.
Filter on response headers: `header=`
-------------------------------------
Currently experimental and under evaluation. Disabled by default, enable by
toggling `filterOnHeaders` to `true` in advanced settings.
Ability to filter network requests according to whether a specific response
header is present and whether it matches or does not match a specific value.
For example:
*$1p,3P,script,header=via:1\.1\s+google
The above filter is meant to block network requests which fullfill all the
following conditions:
- is weakly 1st-party to the context
- is not strictly 1st-party to the context
- is of type `script`
- has a response HTTP header named `via`, which value matches the regular
expression `1\.1\s+google`.
The matches are always performed in a case-insensitive manner.
The header value is assumed to be a literal regular expression, except for
the following special characters:
- to anchor to start of string, use leading `|`, not `^`
- to anchor to end of string, use trailing `|`, not `$`
- to invert the test, use a leading `!`
To block a network request if it merely contains a specific HTTP header is
just a matter of specifying the header name without a header value:
*$1p,3P,script,header=via
Generic exception filters can be used to disable specific block `header=`
filters, i.e. `@@*$1p,3P,script,header` will override the block `header=`
filters given as example above.
Dynamic filtering's `allow` rules override block `headers=` filters.
Important: It is key that filter authors use as many narrowing filter options
as possible when using the `header=` option, and the `header=` option should
be used ONLY when other filter options are not sufficient.
More documentation justifying the purpose of `header=` option will be
provided eventually if ever it is decided to move it from experimental to
stable status.
To be decided: to restrict usage of this filter option to only uBO's own
filter lists or "My filters".
Changes
=======
Fine tuning `queryprune=`
-------------------------
The following changes have been implemented:
The special value `*` (i.e. `queryprune=*`) means "remove all query
parameters".
If the `queryprune=` value is made only of alphanumeric characters
(including `_`), the value will be internally converted to regex equivalent
`^value=`. This ensures a better future compatibility with AdGuard's
`removeparam=`.
If the `queryprune=` value starts with `!`, the test will be inverted. This
can be used to remove all query parameters EXCEPT those who match the
specified value.

-----
The legacy code to test for spurious CSP reports has been removed. This
is no longer an issue ever since uBO redirects to local resources through
web accessible resources.
Notes
=====
The following new and recently added filter options are not compatible with
Chromium's manifest v3 changes:
- `queryprune=`
- `1P`
- `3P`
- `header=`
The auto-complete feature in the _"My filters"_ pane will
use hostname/domain from the set of opened tabs to assist
in entering values for `domain=` option. This also works
for the implict `domain=` option ṗrepending static extended
filters.
`about:srcdoc` frames are their own origin, trying to
use the origin of the parent context causes an
exception to be thrown when accessing location.href.
