CodeMirror's code folding reference:

This commit adds support for code-folding to the filter
list editor/viewer.
The following blocks of code are foldable by clicking the
corresponding marker in the gutter:
- !#if/#endif blocks
- !#include blocks
Addtionally, the following changes:
- The `!#include` line is now preserved when importing a
sublist
- The `!#if` directives will be syntax-colored according
to whether they evaluate to true or false on the current
platform
- Double-clicking on a foldable line in the gutter will
select the content of the foldable block
- Minor visual improvement to matching brackets
Auto-completion will work only for uBO's own
tokens, compatibility-related tokens[1] will not be
taken into account for auto-completion.
The reason is to not have the compatibility-related
tokens get in the way of auto-completion in order
to not inconvenience uBO's filter list maintainers.

etc.

Invalid values for `!#if ...` will be highlighted as errors.
Auto completion is now supported for both the directives
themselves and the valid values for `!#if ...`.
For examples, when pressing ctrl-space:
- `!#e` will auto-complete to `!#endif`
- `!#i` will offer to choose between `!#if ` or `!#include `
- `!#if fir` will auto-complete to `!#if env_firefox`
Additionally, support for some of AdGuard preparsing
directives, i.e. `!#if adguard` is now a valid and will be
honoured -- it always evaluate to `false` in uBO.
In case of invalid `Expires` value -- i.e. `NaN` -- do
not use `1` as default value, just let uBO pick the
value according to the global default (which is `5` as
of commit time).

Unicode characters inside hostname part of a filter will
be converted to punycode.
Unicode characters anywhere else in the pattern will be
percent-encoded.
Unicode characters which cannot be encoded will cause a
filter to be invalid.
A new standalone static filtering parser is introduced,
vAPI.StaticFilteringParser. It's purpose is to parse
line of text into representation suitable for
compiling filters. It can additionally serves for
syntax highlighting purpose.
As a side effect, this solves:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1038
This is a first draft, there are more work left to do
to further perfect the implementation and extend its
capabilities, especially those useful to assist filter
authors.
For the time being, this commits break line-continuation
syntax highlighting -- which was already flaky prior to
this commit anyway.
This commit add the ability to fetch from CDN servers
when an asset is fetched as a result of auto-update.
If an asset has a `cdnURLs` entry in `assets.json`,
the asset will be auto-updated using one of those
CDN URLs. When many CDN URLs are specified, those
URLs will be shuffled in order to spread the bandwidth
across all specified CDN servers. If all specified CDN
servers fail to respond, uBO will fall back to usual
`contentURLs` entry.
The `cdnURLs` are used only when an asset is
auto-updated, this ensures a user will get the more
recent available version of an asset when manually
updating.
The motivation of this new feature is to relieve
GitHub from acting as a CDN (which it is not) for
uBO -- an increasing concern with the growing adoption
of uBO along with the growing size of key uBO assets.

Since cname-uncloaking is available only on Firefox
at the moment, the fix is relevant only to Firefox.
By default uBO will no longer cname-uncloak when it
detects that network requests are being being proxied.
This default behavior can be overriden by setting the
new advanced setting `cnameUncloakProxied` to `true`.
The new setting default to `false`, i.e. cname-uncloaking
is disabled when uBO detects that a proxy is in use.
This new advanced setting may disappear once the
following Firefox issue is fixed:

This adds an indentation requirement for line
continuation to take place. The conditions are now
as follow:
- Current line ends with ` \`: ASCII space + backslash
- Next line starts with ` `: four ASCII spaces
If a line in a filter list ends with a space
(ASCII code 32) followed by a backslash
(ASCII code 92), those two characters will be
removed, the line will be trimmed and the next
line will be trimmed and concatenated to form
a new, longer line.
The purpose is to give filter list authors
a way to visually break apart unduly long
filters and thus make maintenance easier.
When line continuation is used, it is suggested
that the extra lines are prepended with four
space so as to make it more visually obvious that
the extra line(s) are the continuation of a
previous line.

The filter referenced in the above issue was the
motivation to implement this feature:
- https://hg.adblockplus.org/ruadlist/rev/f362910bc9a0
I verified and could not find any instance in major
filter lists of lines ending with ` \`, thus the
change should be safe.
Advanced setting `cnameAliasList` has been removed.
New advanced settings:
cnameUncloak:
Boolean
Default value:
true
Description:
Whether to CNAME-uncloak hostnames.
cnameIgnoreExceptions:
Boolean
Default value:
true
Description:
Whether to bypass the uncloaking of network requests
which were excepted by filters/rules. This is
necessary so as to avoid undue breakage by having
exception filters being rendered useless as a result
of CNAME-uncloaking.
For example, `google-analytics.com` uncloaks to
`www-google-analytics.l.google.com` and both hostnames
appear in Peter Lowe's list, which means exception
filters for `google-analytics.com` (to fix site
breakage) would be rendered useless as the uncloaking
would cause the network request to be ultimately
blocked.

This adds two new advanced settings:
- cnameIgnoreRootDocument
- Default to `true`
- Tells uBO to skip CNAME-lookup for root document.
- cnameReplayFullURL
- Default to `false`
- Tells uBO whether to replay the whole URL or just
the origin part of it.
Replaying only the origin part is meant to lower
undue breakage and improve performance by avoiding
repeating the pattern-matching of the whole URL --
which pattern-matching was most likely already
accomplished with the original request.
This commit is meant to explore enabling CNAME-lookup
by default for the next stable release while:
- Eliminating a development burden by removing the
need to create a new filtering syntax to deal with
undesirable CNAME-cloaked hostnames
- Eliminating a filter list maintainer burden by
removing the need to find/deal with all base
domains which engage in undesirable CNAME-cloaked
hostnames
The hope is that the approach implemented in this
commit should require at most a few unbreak rules
with no further need for special filtering syntax
or filter list maintance efforts.

New webext permission added: `dns`, which purpose is
to allow an extension to fetch the DNS record of
specific hostnames, reference documentation:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/dns
The webext API `dns` is available in Firefox 60+ only.
The new API will enable uBO to "uncloak" the actual
hostname used in network requests. The ability is
currently disabled by default for now -- this is only
a first commit related to the above issue to allow
advanced users to immediately use the new ability.
Four advanced settings have been created to control the
uncloaking of actual hostnames:
cnameAliasList: a space-separated list of hostnames.
Default value: unset => empty list.
Special value: * => all hostnames.
A space-separated list of hostnames => this tells uBO
to "uncloak" the hostnames in the list will.
cnameIgnoreList: a space-separated list of hostnames.
Default value: unset => empty list.
Special value: * => all hostnames.
A space-separated list of hostnames => this tells uBO
to NOT re-run the network request through uBO's
filtering engine with the CNAME hostname. This is
useful to exclude commonly used actual hostnames
from being re-run through uBO's filtering engine, so
as to avoid pointless overhead.
cnameIgnore1stParty: boolean.
Default value: true.
Whether uBO should ignore to re-run a network request
through the filtering engine when the CNAME hostname
is 1st-party to the alias hostname.
cnameMaxTTL: number of minutes.
Default value: 120.
This tells uBO to clear its CNAME cache after the
specified time. For efficiency purpose, uBO will
cache alias=>CNAME associations for reuse so as
to reduce calls to `browser.dns.resolve`. All the
associations will be cleared after the specified time
to ensure the map does not grow too large and too
ensure uBO uses up to date CNAME information.

The previous bidi-trie code could only hold filters which
are plain pattern, i.e. no wildcard characters, and which
had no origin option (`domain=`), right and/or left anchor,
and no `csp=` option.
Example of filters that could be moved into a bidi-trie
data structure:
&ad_box_
/w/d/capu.php?z=$script,third-party
||liveonlinetv247.com/images/muvixx-150x50-watch-now-in-hd-play-btn.gif
Examples of filters that could NOT be moved to a bidi-trie:
-adap.$domain=~l-adap.org
/tsc.php?*&ses=
||ibsrv.net/*forumsponsor$domain=[...]
@@||imgspice.com/jquery.cookie.js|$script
||view.atdmt.com^*/iview/$third-party
||postimg.cc/image/$csp=[...]
Ideally the filters above should be able to be moved to a
bidi-trie since they are basically plain patterns, or at
least partially moved to a bidi-trie when there is only a
single wildcard (i.e. made of two plain patterns).
Also, there were two distinct bidi-tries in which
plain-pattern filters can be moved to: one for patterns
without hostname anchoring and another one for patterns
with hostname-anchoring. This was required because the
hostname-anchored patterns have an extra condition which
is outside the bidi-trie knowledge.
This commit expands the number of filters which can be
stored in the bidi-trie, and also remove the need to
use two distinct bidi-tries.
- Added ability to associate a pattern with an integer
in the bidi-trie [1].
- The bidi-trie match code passes this externally
provided integer when calling an externally
provided method used for testing extra conditions
that may be present for a plain pattern found to
be matching in the bidi-trie.
- Decomposed existing filters into smaller logical units:
- FilterPlainLeftAnchored =>
FilterPatternPlain +
FilterAnchorLeft
- FilterPlainRightAnchored =>
FilterPatternPlain +
FilterAnchorRight
- FilterExactMatch =>
FilterPatternPlain +
FilterAnchorLeft +
FilterAnchorRight
- FilterPlainHnAnchored =>
FilterPatternPlain +
FilterAnchorHn
- FilterWildcard1 =>
FilterPatternPlain + [
FilterPatternLeft or
FilterPatternRight
]
- FilterWildcard1HnAnchored =>
FilterPatternPlain + [
FilterPatternLeft or
FilterPatternRight
] +
FilterAnchorHn
- FilterGenericHnAnchored =>
FilterPatternGeneric +
FilterAnchorHn
- FilterGenericHnAndRightAnchored =>
FilterPatternGeneric +
FilterAnchorRight +
FilterAnchorHn
- FilterOriginMixedSet =>
FilterOriginMissSet +
FilterOriginHitSet
- Instances of FilterOrigin[...], FilterDataHolder
can also be added to a composite filter to
represent `domain=` and `csp=` options.
- Added a new filter class, FilterComposite, for
filters which are a combination of two or more
logical units. A FilterComposite instance is a
match when *all* filters composing it are a
match.
Since filters are now encoded into combination of
smaller units, it becomes possible to extract the
FilterPatternPlain component and store it in the
bidi-trie, and use the integer as a handle for the
remaining extra conditions, if any.
Since a single pattern in the bidi-trie may be a
component for different filters, the associated
integer points to a sequence of extra conditions,
and a match occurs as soon as one of the extra
conditions (which may itself be a sequence of
conditions) is fulfilled.
Decomposing filters which are currently single
instance into sequences of smaller logical filters
means increasing the storage and CPU overhead when
evaluating such filters. The CPU overhead is
compensated by the fact that more filters can now
moved into the bidi-trie, where the first match is
efficiently evaluated. The extra conditions have to
be evaluated if and only if there is a match in the
bidi-trie.
The storage overhead is compensated by the
bidi-trie's intrinsic nature of merging similar
patterns.
Furthermore, the storage overhead is reduced by no
longer using JavaScript array to store collection
of filters (which is what FilterComposite is):
the same technique used in [2] is imported to store
sequences of filters.
A sequence of filters is a sequence of integer pairs
where the first integer is an index to an actual
filter instance stored in a global array of filters
(`filterUnits`), while the second integer is an index
to the next pair in the sequence -- which means all
sequences of filters are encoded in one single array
of integers (`filterSequences` => Uint32Array). As
a result, a sequence of filters can be represented by
one single integer -- an index to the first pair --
regardless of the number of filters in the sequence.
This representation is further leveraged to replace
the use of JavaScript array in FilterBucket [3],
which used a JavaScript array to store collection
of filters. Doing so means there is no more need for
FilterPair [4], which purpose was to be a lightweight
representation when there was only two filters in a
collection.
As a result of the above changes, the map of `token`
(integer) => filter instance (object) used to
associate tokens to filters or collections of filters
is replaced with a more efficient map of `token`
(integer) to filter unit index (integer) to lookup a
filter object from the global `filterUnits` array.
Another consequence of using one single global
array to store all filter instances means we can reuse
existing instances when a logical filter instance is
parameter-less, which is the case for FilterAnchorLeft,
FilterAnchorRight, FilterAnchorHn, the index to these
single instances is reused where needed.
`urlTokenizer` now stores the character codes of the
scanned URL into a bidi-trie buffer, for reuse when
string matching methods are called.
New method: `tokenHistogram()`, used to generate
histograms of occurrences of token extracted from URLs
in built-in benchmark. The top results of the "miss"
histogram are used as "bad tokens", i.e. tokens to
avoid if possible when compiling filter lists.
All plain pattern strings are now stored in the
bidi-trie memory buffer, regardless of whether they
will be used in the trie proper or not.
Three methods have been added to the bidi-trie to test
stored string against the URL which is also stored in
then bidi-trie.
FilterParser is now instanciated on demand and
released when no longer used.

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.
Since resources are now immutable, by default they are
only compiled once each time uBO updates to a new
version. However I need a way to force a re-compiling
of the resource in the dev build. This commit adds code
to invalidate the resources selfie when forcing the
update of any filter list.
With hindsight, I revised decisions made earlier during
this development cycle:
Un-redirectable scriptlets have been removed from
/web_accessible_resources and instead put in the new
/assets/resources/scriptlets.js, which contains all
scriptlets used for web page injection purpose.
uBO will no longer fetch a remote version of built-in
resources.
Advanced setting `userResourcesLocation` will still be
honoured by uBO, and if set, will be fetched every
time at least one asset is updated.
This is a first step, the ultimate goal is to remove
the need for resources.txt, or at least to reduce to
only hotfixes or for trivial resources targeting very
specific websites.
Most resources will become immutable, i.e. they will
be part of uBO's code base. Advantages include easier
code maintenance (jshint, syntax highlight), and to
make scriptlets more easy to code review by external
parties (for example extension store reviewers).
TODO:
- More scriptlets need to be imported before next
release.
- Need to make legacy versions of uBO use a legacy
version of resources.txt, as all the now obsolete
scriptlets will have to be removed once uBO's
next release become widespread.
- Possibly need to add code to load binary
resources so that they can be injected as
data: URI. So far it's unclear whether this is
really needed. For example, this would be needed
if a xmlhttprequest is redirected to an image
resource.
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.
The purpose of using a custom base128 encoder is to
convert array buffers into strings, to allow a direct
string-to-array buffer conversion at load time:
string => array buffer
Whereas a JSON array would require an extra step:
JSON array as string => JS array => array buffer
Turns out that the current use of a custom base128 encoding
results in a significantly larger selfie storage usage when
converting array buffers into strings.
Speculation: possibly the browser convert the strings to
save into JSON strings internally. Since the custom base128
encoder is likely to cause the resulting string to contain
a lot of unprintable ASCII characters, these will need to
be escaped when converted to JSON -- escaped characters
occupy more space than non-escaped ones.
Using a sequence of base 64 numbers means only printable
will be present in the output string, hence no escaping
necessary. I have observed significant reduction in
storage usage for selfie purpose.
The value of `suspendTabsUntilReady` was disregarded in Firefox and
uBO defaulted to always defer tab loading until it was ready.
This commit allows to disable the deferring of tab loading in
Firefox. The new valid values for `suspendTabsUntilReady` are:
- `unset`: leave it to the platform to pick the optimal
behavior (default)
- `no`: do no suspend tab loading at launch time
- `yes`: suspend tab loading at launch time

By default `indexedDB` is used in Firefox for purpose of cache storage
backend.
This commit allows to force the use of `browser.storage.local` instead
as cache storage backend. For this to happen, set `cacheStorageAPI` to
`browser.storage.local` in advanced settings.
Additionally, should `indexedDB` not be available for whatever reason,
uBO will automatically fallback to `browser.storage.local`.
The motivation is to address the higher peak memory usage at launch
time with 3rd-gen HNTrie when a selfie was present.
The selfie generation prior to this change was to collect all
filtering data into a single data structure, and then to serialize
that whole structure at once into storage (using JSON.stringify).
However, HNTrie serialization requires that a large UintArray32 be
converted into a plain JS array, which itslef would be indirectly
converted into a JSON string. This was the main reason why peak
memory usage would be higher at launch from selfie, since the JSON
string would need to be wholly unserialized into JS objects, which
themselves would need to be converted into more specialized data
structures (like that Uint32Array one).
The solution to lower peak memory usage at launch is to refactor
selfie generation to allow a more piecemeal approach: each filtering
component is given the ability to serialize itself rather than to be
forced to be embedded in the master selfie. With this approach, the
HNTrie buffer can now serialize to its own storage by converting the
buffer data directly into a string which can be directly sent to
storage. This avoiding expensive intermediate steps such as
converting into a JS array and then to a JSON string.
As part of the refactoring, there was also opportunistic code
upgrade to ES6 and Promise (eventually all of uBO's code will be
proper ES6).
Additionally, the polyfill to bring getBytesInUse() to Firefox has
been revisited to replace the rather expensive previous
implementation with an implementation with virtually no overhead.

A new advanced settings has been added: `autoCommentFilterTemplate`.
Default value is `{{date}} {{origin}}`.
Placeholders are identified by `{{...}}`. There are currently
only three placeholders supported:
- `{{date}}`: will be replaced with current date
- `{{time}}`: will be replaced with current time
- `{{origin}}`: will be replaced with site information on which
the filter(s) was created
If no placeholder is found in `autoCommentFilterTemplate`, this
will disable auto-commenting. So one can use `-` to disable
auto-commenting.
Additionally, if auto-commenting is enabled, uBO will not emit a
comment if an emitted comment would be a duplicate of the last
one found in the user filter list.

experiment with compression
A new filtering class has been created: "static extended filtering".
This new class is an umbrella class for more specialized filtering
engines:
- Cosmetic filtering
- Scriptlet filtering
- HTML filtering
HTML filtering is available only on platforms which support modifying
the response body on the fly, so only Firefox 57+ at the moment.
With the ability to modify the response body, HTML filtering has
been introduced: removing elements from the DOM before the source
data has been parsed by the browser.
A consequence of HTML filtering ability is to bring back script tag
filtering feature.
