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.
- badfilter option was no longer working following last refactoring
changes.
- performance work:
- reduce duplication of large strings.
- new lighter FilterBucket to use when only 2 filters: FilterPair.
.jshintrc's otion-set is a personal choice, merely a suggestion.
Beside that, it includes some common globals for specific browsers, so
there's no need to set the globals in every .js file.
In order to force strict coding, "use strict" directive was added into
every .js file.
