When a 3rd argument was provided, the scriplet would
log information related to window popup operations,
regardless of the value of the argument.
The 3rd argument is now parsed in a formal manner. It
is meant to be one or more space-separated tokens which
are used to fine tune the behavior of the scriptlet.
Tokens:
log:
Cause the scriptlet to log information regarding
how window.open() is used by the page on which the
scriptlet is used. Useful only to filter creators.
obj:
Use an `object` element instead of `iframe` element
(default) as a decoy to be used in place of a popup
window, when the page requires a valid `window`
instance to be returned.
Cloud storage is a limited resource, and thus it
makes sense to support data compression before
sending the data to cloud storage.
A new hidden setting allows to toggle on
cloud storage compression:
name: cloudStorageCompression
default: false
By default, this hidden setting is `false`, and a
user must set it to `true` to enable compression
of cloud storage items.
This hidden setting will eventually be toggled
to `true` by default, when there is good confidence
a majority of users are using a version of uBO
which can properly handle compressed cloud storage
items.
A cursory assessment shows that compressed items
are roughly 40-50% smaller in size.

For yet unknown reasons, in Chromium 84 the rendering of
`svg/use`-based icons in the dashboard causes page load
stall and undue high memory usage when the dashboard is
opened, especially the Filter list pane.
The fix in this commit is to avoid using `svg/use` and to
directly create and insert the `path` element defining an
icon.
