Additionally, I added a link to the logger in the
"About" pane in the dashboard in order to be able
to access the logger without having to go through
the popup panel.

The current implementation reports statistics for all
static filters, and the presentation/featureset is
intentionally minimal: *Do not open issues about this.*
It's still a work in progress and it will be worked on
slowly and thoughtfully over time and as time allows.
Pausing the logger will not pause the collation of
filter hit statistics, thus it is possible to lower
the logger overhead by pausing logger output without
losing filter hit collation.
The motivations for the re-arrangement:
- Reducing the number of entry points:
matchStringExactString() has been removed and
matchString() is simply reused with a modifier parameter
to enable matching variants.
- Presumption that most matches, if any, occur early with
the left-most tokens in a URL. This gives a very small
marginal performance gain as per built-in benchmark.
I had exceptions thrown by that code once in a while,
about the `port` object not being connected; possibly
occurs only when using dev tools with breakpoints
in uBO's code. Even if this can be reproduced randomly
only when debugging uBO, it costs nothing to add code
in there to handle exceptions.

The `all` option is equivalent to specifying all
network-based types + `popup`, `document`,
`inline-font`, `inline-script`.
Example from discussion:
||bet365.com^$all
Above will block all network requests, block all popups,
prevent inline fonts/scripts from `bet365.com`. EasyList-
compatible syntax does not allow to accomplish that
semantic when using only `||bet365.com^`.
If using specific negated type options along with `all`,
the order in which the options appear is important. In
such case `all` should always be first, followed by
the negated type option(s).
