Currently, there is no other way to inject CSS user styles than to
wake up the service worker, so that it can inject the CSS styles
itself using the `scripting.insertCSS()` method.
If ever the MV3 API supports injecting CSS user styles directly
from a content script, uBOL will be back to be fully declarative.
At this point the service worker is very lightweight since the
filtering is completely declarative, so this is not too much of
an issue performance-wise except for the fact that waking up the
service worker for the sole purpose of injecting CSS user styles
and nothing else introduces a pointless overhead.
Hopefully the MV3 API will mature to address such inefficiency.
What does not work at the time of commit:
Cosmetic filtering does not work:
The content scripts responsible for cosmetic filtering fail when
trying to inject the stylesheets through document.adoptedStyleSheets,
with the following error message:
XrayWrapper denied access to property Symbol.iterator
(reason: object is not safely Xrayable).
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Xray_vision for more
information. ... css-declarative.js:106:8
A possible solution is to inject those content scripts in the
MAIN world. However Firefox scripting API does not support MAIN
world injection at the moment.
Scriptlet-filtering does not work:
Because scriptlet code needs to be injected in the MAIN world,
and this is currently not supported by Firefox's scripting API,
see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1736575
There is no count badge on the toolbar icon in Firefox, as it
currently does not support the `DNR.setExtensionActionOptions`
method.
Other than the above issues, it does appear uBO is blocking
properly with no error reported in the dev console.
The adoptedStyleSheets issue though is worrisome, as the
cosmetic filtering content scripts were designed with ISOLATED
world injection in mind. Being forced to inject in MAIN world
(when available) make things a bit more complicated as uBO
has to ensure it's global variables do not leak into the page.
Bring latest changes to procedural cosmetic filtering to uBOL.
Fix procedural filtering used in HTML filters.
