The value 0xFFFFFFFF will be used instead of 0 to mark the end of
a sequence of tokens, as the value 0xFFFFFFFF can't happen as a
result of computing a token hash, since the four most significant
bits are always 0 in a computed token hash.
The purpose of this new procedural operator is to target
all elements _outside_ than the currently selected set of
elements.
For any element feeding into `others()`, the resultset
of the `others()` operator will include everything else
except:
- the descendants of a subject element
- the ancestors of a subject element
The resultset will contains the siblings of a subject
element _except_ when those siblings are either a
descendant or ancestor of another subject element.

Though this operator is unlikely to be used in default lists,
it opens the door to create specialized filter lists which
purpose is some sort of "reader mode", where everything
_else_ than a selected set of elements are hidden from view.
Examples of usage:
twitter.com##:matches-path(/^/home/) [data-testid="primaryColumn"]:others()
nature.com##:matches-path(/^/articles//) :is(.c-breadcrumbs,.c-article-main-column):others()
The status is currently considered experimental and support
might be removed in the future if it turns out there is no
sufficient usage or if unforeseen difficult issues arise
implementation-wise.
The Create button was being unduly enabled for a fraction of
second while editing the content of the filter text.
This commit is candidate for a revision to current stable
release.
uBO will use the information from prefers-color-scheme to reduce
likelihood of background color flash. However this works only for
when prefers-color-scheme is properly set by the browser, and only
when uBO's theme selection is "auto", or when it happens to
match that of prefers-color-scheme.

Too many changes to list here, essentially there is now a
user interface setting to enable/disable dark theme, and
I've rearranged a bit the Settings pane as a result and
also altered other visuals in various places.
There are places which I know have not been thoroughly
tested (i.e. logger inspector).
Will fine-tune as per feedback.
Issues with the classic popup panel will not be addressed,
and if feedback is that it has become unusuable, it will be
outright removed.
Reported internally.
The issue involves `removeparam` filters with a regex value. When
such filter was visited before a selfie was created, this would cause
the created selfie to persist a RegExp object, which can't be
serialized. This would cause exceptions to be thrown when uBO would
be subsequently loaded with the tainted selfie, since uBO would try
to execute a plain Object as a RegExp.
This will allow to find out what is specifically blocked on the
page reported as having issues, potentially saving time
when volunteers try to diagnose issues.

In above related commit, uBO was modified to cache the URL of the
last clicked link, and to use this cached URL to test for the
legitimacy of the newly opened tab.
The current commit add back a test against the URL of the last
clicked link to avoid false positives when navigating from within
the newly opened tab.

The new setting, when disabled (enabled by default), allows a user
to prevent uBO from waiting for all filter lists to be loaded
before allowing network activity at launch. The setting is enabled
by default, meaning uBO waits for all filter lists to be loaded in
memory before unsuspending network activity. Some users may find
this behavior undesirable, hence the new setting.
This gives the option to potentially speed up page load at launch,
at the cost of potentially not properly filtering network requests
as per filter lists/rules.
For platforms not supporting the suspension of network activity,
the setting will merely prevent whatever mechanism exists on the
platform to mitigate improper filtering of network requests at
launch. For example, in Chromium-based browsers, unchecking the
new setting will prevent the browser from re-loading tabs for
which there was network activity while in "suspended" state at
launch.
