When using paths, platform implementations of setIcon typically
will fetch the resource then convert to image data internally.
It is preferable for uBO to do this conversion itself as it can
be done only once at launch time.
With chromium-based browsers, using image data eliminate the
incessant network traffic to fetch browser icons as reported
in the extension's dev tool, meaning a good chunk of overhead
is eliminated.
Also, use optimal icon sizes, as of now both chromium and firefox
prefers 16px instead of 19px, and 32px instead of 38px.
All the assets which are not selected by default out-of-the-box will
be converted into an empty file. This is a first step, the final step
will be to removed completely the files from the package once everybody
is using v1.1.0.0+.
This includes a new, refined µBlock logo, rendered more coherently
and consistently for different sizes and display pixel densities.
The Safari build script has been modified to bundle appropriate
resolutions. The Firefox build script was slightly changed to
adhere to the naming convention. The Chrome manifest was
modified/ammended slightly to take advantage of new renderings.
README's beginning has been modified to be nicer and more
minimal.
Other than the logo's slightly refined look and having better
resolution on different browsers and setups, this should have
no effect on the user experience or further development.
