This works only for platforms supporting the return of
Promise by network listeners, i.e. only Firefox at this
point.
When filter lists are reloaded[1], there is a small
time window in which some network requests which should
have normally been blocked are not being blocked
because the static network filtering engine may not
have yet loaded all the filters in memory
This is now addressed by suspending the network request
handler when filter lists are reloaded -- again, this
works only on supported platforms.
[1] Examples: when a filter list update session
completes; when user filters change, when
adding/removing filter lists.

Make the element picker better reflect network filters as
parsed by the static network filtering engine. Additionally,
discard single alphanumeric character-based filters.

Inject newly created cosmetic filters into the DOM
filterer, in order for these filters to be enforced by
the DOM filterer in subsequent dynamic DOM changes.

By default, no specific keyboard shortcut is predefined,
this will have to be assigned by the user. The command
name in English is "Toggle blocking profile".
The default behavior is to toggle down according to one
of the following scenarios.
a) If script execution is disabled through the no-scripting
switch, the no-scripting switch will be locally toggled
so as to allow script execution. The page will be
automatically reloaded.
b) If script execution is not blocked but the 3rd-party
script and/or frame cells are blocked, local no-op rules
will be set so as to no longer block 3rd-party scripts
and/or frames. The page will be automatically reloaded.
Given this, it may take more than one toggle down command
to reach the lowest blocking profile, which is one where
JavaScript execution is not blocked and 3rd-party scripts
and frames resources block rules, if any, are bypassed
with local no-op rules.
TODO: At this point, I haven't yet decided whether
toggling from the lowest profile should restore the
original highest blocking profile.

Fixed:
- Expect the differ can return the first input as is when
there is no difference between the two items.
- Better deal with extraneous whitespaces in `srcset`
The purpose is to avoid having to iterate through
all input nodes at each operator implementation
level. The `transpose` method deals with only one
input node, and the iteration is performed by the
main procedural filtering entry points.
Additionally:
- Add `:spath` to HTML filtering
- Rename `:watch-attrs` to `:watch-attr`
- `:watch=attrs` is deprecated and will be kept around
until it is safe to remove it completely
Where `x` is the minimal text length of the subject
DOM element. DOM elements whose text length is
greater than or equal to `x` will be selected.
The original rationale for such procedural cosmetic
operator[1] is to be able to remove inline script
elements according to a minimum text length using
HTML filtering.

list maintainers @ uAssets.
- Remove HNTrieContainer class from global context by
storing it as a property of µBlock.
- Use block scope to isolate HNTrie-related constants
from global context.
- Prevent filters which are pure IP address from
being stored in an HNTrie instance -- as this
could cause false positives.
The bidirectional trie allows storing the right
and left parts of a string into a trie given a
pivot position.
Releated issue:

Additionally, the mandatory token-at-index-0 rule
for FilterPlainHnAnchored has been lifted, thus
allowing the engine to pick a potentially better token
at any position in the filter string.

TODO: Eventually rename `strie.js` to `biditrie.js`.
TODO: Fix dump() method, it currently only show the
right-hand side of a filter string.

The service worker-related issue affects both
Chromium/Firefox: the type of resources fetched
from a service worker are uniformly set to
`xmlhttprequest`, hence losing a key piece of
information for the purpose of accurate content
filtering.

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.
