The old "classic" popup panel will still be used
when at least one of the following is true:
- advanced setting `uiFlavor` is set to `classic`; or
- the browser is Chromium 65 or older; or
- the browser is Firefox 67 or older
The default configuration of the new popup panel
at installation time is to show the power button,
statistics and the basic tool icons, i.e. access
to dashboard, logger, pickers.
For existing installations, the new popup panel
will be configured by respecting the existing
configuration of the classic one.
The new popup panel is currently already in use
on Firefox for Android, and the visual redesign
was made according to suggestions and feedback
from <https://github.com/brampitoyo> to be
optimal for Firefox for Android.
The new popup panel will allow closing the following
pending issues:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/255
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/178
No need to store mouse coordinates in background
page, thus no need to post mouse coordinates
information for every click.
Rename/group element picker arguments and popup
arguments separately.

The color value for the icon badge is now
"attached" to the blocking profile value.
Additionally, as per feedback, `3p` rules
will be relaxing before master JavaScript
switch rules.

Additionally, the `3p` rule has been made distinct from
`3p-script`/`3p-frame` for the purpose of
"Relax blocking mode" command.
The badge color will hint at the current blocking mode.
There are four colors for the four following blocking
modes:
- JavaScript wholly disabled
- All 3rd parties blocked
- 3rd-party scripts and frames blocked
- None of the above
The default badge color will be used when JavaScript is not
wholly disabled and when there are no rules for `3p`,
`3p-script` or `3p-frame`.
A new advanced setting has been added to let the user choose
the badge colors for the various blocking modes,
`blockingProfileColors`. The value *must* be a sequence of
4 valid CSS color values that match 6 hexadecimal digits
prefixed with`#` -- anything else will be ignored.

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.

Built-in whitelist directives are now rendered differently
than user-defined whitelist directives. Also, removing a
built-in whitelist directive will only cause that directive
to be commented out, so that users do not have to remember
built-in directives should they want to bring them back.

The built-in per-site switch rule
`no-scripting: behind-the-scene false` has been removed,
it should not ever be needed since there will always be a
valid root context for main- and sub-frames.
<https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/3436>: a new per-site switch
has been added, no-scripting, which purpose is to wholly disable/enable
javascript for a given site. This new switch has precedence over all
other ways javascript can be disabled, including precedence over dynamic
filtering rules.
The popup panel will report the number of script resources which have
been seen by uBO for the current page. There is a minor inaccuracy to
be fixed regarding the count, and which fix requires to extend request
journaling.
<https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/308>: the `noscript` tags will
now be respected when the new no-scripting switch is in effect on a given
site.
A default setting has been added to the _Settings_ pane to
disable/enable globally the new no-script switch, such that one can
work in default-deny mode regarding javascript execution.
<https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/155>: a new
hidden setting, `requestJournalProcessPeriod`, has been added to
allow controlling the delay before uBO internally process it's
network request journal queue. Default to 1000 (milliseconds).
