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.

Prior to this commit, the ability to enable/disable the
uncloaking of canonical names was only available to advanced
users. This commit make it so that the setting can be
toggled from the _Settings_ pane.
The setting is enabled by default. The documentation should
be clear that the setting should not be disabled unless it
actually solves serious network issues, for example:

Also, as a result, the advanced setting `cnameUncloak` is no
longer available from within the advanced settings editor.

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.
As per internal feedback.
The `length` property exists if the `adsbygoogle` object
is instantiated before the `adsbygoogle.js` script has
been loaded, but is no longer present once the
`adsbygoogle.js` script has been loaded.
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.
Content scripts can't properly look up effective context
for sandboxed frames. This commit add ability to extract
effective context from already existing store of frames

The entry `toOverwrite.filterLists` is an array of

stock filter list, or a URL for an external filter
list.
This new entry is to make it easier for an
administrator to centrally configure uBO with a
custom set of filter lists.

Patternless `queryprune` ar enow preserved as being
pattern-less while still attempting to extract a token
from the `queryprune` value. This allows to report the
filter in the logger same as its original form.
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
be valid, as `{` and `}` are special characters and as
such should be escaped:
/abc\]/
/a7,18\}/
/a\{7,18/
With this commit, the regexes will additionally be
validated using the regex analyzer library in the editor
to ensure strict regex syntax compliance so as to avoid
what are likely mistakes in regex crafting by authors.
This commit fixes mouse double-click-and-drag operations,
which was broken due to the implementation of a custom

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.

Not much can be done beside reporting to tabless network

This commit adds the compiled magic version number to the
compiled data itself, and consequently this allows uBO
to no longer require that any given compiled list with a
mismatched format to be detected and discarded at launch
time.
Given this change, uBO no longer needs to rely on the
deletion of cached data at launch time to ensure it
won't use no longer valid compiled lists.

this entry is clicked, uBO's element picker will be
launched from within the embedded frame and function the

This is particularly helpful for static network filters

When compiled data format changes, do not rely on order

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

Changes:
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.
`match-case`

The new filter option `match-case` can be used only for

sort of filters will cause uBO to discard the filter.
`redirect=`

- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1366
`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:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3590
Since the `redirect=` option was refactored into a modifier
filter, presence of a type (`script`, `xhr`, etc.) is no
longer a requirement.

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.
Other
-----
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.
Notably, add clickable link to open the widget
in its own tab. Also, allows the URL to be text-
selected so that it becomes possible to use the
selection in a browser contextual menu's "Open
in a new tab" option.
Notably, make `queryprune` option available only
to filter list authors, until there are guards
against bad filters in some future and until the
option syntax and behavior is fully settled.
Instances of `queryprune` in filter lists will be
compiled, however instances of `queryprune` in
_"My filters"_ will be ignored unless users
indicated they are a filter list author.
The important bit is now considered an action bit
so that there is no more a need for the `important`
property in the parser. The modify bit is now
considered a realm bit.
When the modify bit is set, the action bits become
available to be used to further narrow the realm.
This could be useful in the future if we want to
spread the population of modifier filters across
different buckets.
Reusing the same iterator instance for all cases
of `domain=` option parsing should reduce memory
churning.
Additonally, fine tune regex used to extract
valid token from regex-based filters to increase
likelihood of being able to extract a valid
token.
Reported internally by @gwarser.
In rare occasion, a timing issue could cause uBO to redirect
to a web accessible resource meant to be used for another
network request. This is a regression introduced with the
following commit:
- 2e5d32e967
Additionally, I identified another issue which would cause
cached redirection to fail when a cache entry with redirection
to a web accessible resource was being reused, an issue which
could especially affect pages which are generated dynamically
(i.e. without full page reload).
filterUnits is now treated as a buffer which is
pre-allocated and which will grow in chunks so as
to minimize memory allocations. Entries are never
released, just null-ed.
Additionally, move urlTokenizer into the static
network filtering engine, since it's not used
anywhere else.
Notably, defer the post-load optimization operations
to a few seconds after the filters have been all
loaded in memory -- this is not a critical step for
the filtering engine to work properly, hence this
can be delayed in order to ensure readiness as soon
as possible.
Most notably, the `denyallow=` option now requires
the presence of a valid `domain=` option to not be
rejected.
Using `denyallow=` without narrowing down using the
`domain=` option leads to catastrophic blocking
behvior, hence the requirement for a valid `domain=`
option.
Related commit:

The optimization in the commit above was meant to
improve the performance of lookup operations of
modifier filters, but I forgot to enable the
optimisation for that class of filters.
This means this commit brings another significant
performance gain on top of the previous commit, as
shown by the built-in benchmark.
Additionally a few minor code rearrangements.
Performance-related work.
There is a fair number of filters which can't be tokenized
in uBO's own filter lists. Majority of those filters also
declare a `domain=` option, examples:
*$script,redirect-rule=noopjs,domain=...
*$script,3p,domain=...,denyallow=...
*$frame,3p,domain=...
Such filters can be found in uBO's asset viewer using the
following search expression:
/^\*?\$[^\n]*?domain=/
Some filter buckets will contain many of those filters, for
instance one of the bucket holding untokenizable `redirect=`
filters has over 170 entries, which must be all visited when
collating all matching `redirect=` filters.
When a bucket contains many such filters, I found that it's
worth to extract all the non-negated hostname values from
`domain=` options into a single hntrie and perform a pre-test
at match() time to find out whether the current origin of a
network request matches any one of the collected hostnames,
so as to avoid iterating through all the filters.
Since there is rarely a match() for vast majority of network
requests with `domain=` option, this pre-test saves a good
amount of work, and this is measurable with the built-in
benchmark.
This commit moves the parsing, compiling and enforcement
of the `redirect=` and `redirect-rule=` network filter
options into the static network filtering engine as
modifier options -- just like `csp=` and `queryprune=`.
This solves the two following issues:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3590
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1008#issuecomment-716164214
Additionally, `redirect=` option is not longer afflicted
by static network filtering syntax quirks, `redirect=`
filters can be used with any other static filtering
modifier options, can be excepted using `@@` and can be
badfilter-ed.
Since more than one `redirect=` directives could be found
to apply to a single network request, the concept of
redirect priority is introduced.
By default, `redirect=` directives have an implicit
priority of 0. Filter authors can declare an explicit
priority by appending `:[integer]` to the token of the
`redirect=` option, for example:
||example.com/*.js$1p,script,redirect=noopjs:100
The priority dictates which redirect token out of many
will be ultimately used. Cases of multiple `redirect=`
directives applying to a single blocked network request
are expected to be rather unlikely.
Explicit redirect priority should be used if and only if
there is a case of redirect ambiguity to solve.

The purpose of this new network filter option is to remove
query parameters form the URL of network requests.
The name `queryprune` has been picked over `querystrip`
since the purpose of the option is to remove some
parameters from the URL rather than all parameters.
`queryprune` is a modifier option (like `csp`) in that it
does not cause a network request to be blocked but rather
modified before being emitted.
`queryprune` must be assigned a value, which value will
determine which parameters from a query string will be
removed. The syntax for the value is that of regular
expression *except* for the following rules:
- do not wrap the regex directive between `/`
- do not use regex special values `^` and `$`
- do not use literal comma character in the value,
though you can use hex-encoded version, `\x2c`
- to match the start of a query parameter, prepend `|`
- to match the end of a query parameter, append `|`
`queryprune` regex-like values will be tested against each
key-value parameter pair as `[key]=[value]` string. This
way you can prune according to either the key, the value,
or both.
This commit introduces the concept of modifier filter
options, which as of now are:
- `csp=`
- `queryprune=`
They both work in similar way when used with `important`
option or when used in exception filters. Modifier
options can apply to any network requests, hence the
logger reports the type of the network requests, and no
longer use the modifier as the type, i.e. `csp` filters
are no longer reported as requests of type `csp`.
Though modifier options can apply to any network requests,
for the time being the `csp=` modifier option still apply
only to top or embedded (frame) documents, just as before.
In some future we may want to apply `csp=` directives to
network requests of type script, to control the behavior
of service workers for example.
A new built-in filter expression has been added to the
logger: "modified", which allow to see all the network
requests which were modified before being emitted. The
translation work for this new option will be available
in a future commit.
Additionally, add a button in the About pane
to launch benchmark sessions. The button will
be available only when advanced setting
`benchmarkDatasetURL` is set and pointing to

The deadline to interactively load a specific media
element has been extended from 2sec to 5sec.
Clicking over a blocked large media element will cause
uBO to lookup and handle all potentially blocked large
elements at the cursor position. This should take care
of being able to unblock media elements hidden under
other DOM object.
The CSS style applied to blocked large media elements
has been fine tuned to improve interactivity.
uBO will now remember the specific media elements which
were unblocked and keep them exempted from being
further blocked. This would be an issue when unblocking
a video and then a bit later seeking to another point
in the video, in which case uBO would again block
network requests for that video.

The redirectable resource has been renamed
`click2load.html`, so as to avoid uses of dash
characters and to also allow for future different
click-to-load resources.
Additionally, as a requirement to support click-to-load
feature, redirected resources will from now on no
longer be collapsed.

This new feature should considered in its draft
stage and it needs to be fine-tuned as per
feedback.
Important: Only embedded frames can be converted
into click-to-load widgets, as only these can be
properly shieded from access by page content.
Examples of usage:
||youtube.com/embed/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload
||scribd.com/embeds/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload
||player.vimeo.com/video/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload

Name: `uiTheme`
Default: `unset`
Values:
- `unset`: uBO will pick the theme according to
browser's `prefers-color-scheme`
- `light`: force light scheme
- `dark`: force dark theme
This advanced setting is not to be documented yet as
it has not been decided this is a long term solution.
- Added values for dark mode
- Using the photon colors and reviewing material design - Put this together.
- Correct fieldset-header-ink
- Removed color variables already listed.
- Removal of !important and revert to some already approved colours.

Double-cliking on a URL will cause the whole URL to be
selected, thus making it easier to navigate to this
URL (through your browser "Open in new tab" entry in
contextual menu).
Unrecognized scriptlet names will be highlighted so as
to warn that the filter is not going to be effective.
Injecting declarative CSS `:style()` selector could cause
the instatiation of the procedural filterer, even when
there was no actual procedural cosmetic filter to
enforce.
This commit ensure that the procedural cosmetic filterer
is instantiated only when there are actual procedural
filters to enforce.
