To prepare for better compatibility with AdGuard's own `set-constant`
scriptlet.
The 3rd position parameter which dictates how to set the value has
been converted into a vararg paramater, as follow:
..., as, function
..., as, callback
..., as, resolved
..., as, rejected
Similarly, the parameter used to dictate when the scriptlet
should become effective is now to be used as a vararg:
..., runAt, load

Ideally, AdGuard would support its `stack` parameter as a
vararg, to be discussed.

The `randomize` paramater introduced in https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/418087de9c
is now named `directive`, and beside the `true` value which is meant
to respond with a random 10-character string, it can now take the
following value:
war:[web_accessible_resource name]
In order to mock the XHR response with a web accessible resource. For
example:
piquark6046.github.io##+js(no-xhr-if, adsbygoogle.js, war:googlesyndication_adsbygoogle.js)
Will cause the XHR performed by the webpage to resolve to the content
of `/web_accessible_resources/googlesyndication_adsbygoogle.js`.
Should the resource not exist, the empty string will be returned.
Now support AdGuard's `randomize` parameter. If `true`,
the scriplet will generate a random 10-character string
to be returned as the response.
Reference:
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/Scriptlets/blob/master/wiki/about-scriptlets.md#prevent-xhr
AdGuard's `prevent-xhr` also support `length:n-m` form,
but since I do not see it being used, for now it's not
supported in uBO's `no-xhr-if`.
Additionally, the scriptlet will now honor `responseType` and
return the proper response type accordingly.
`fetchPropsToMatch` is an optional variable argument. If provided,
the scriplet will take effect only when the JSON data is obtained
through `Response.json()` and if there is a match with the value of
`fetchPropsToMatch` and the properties of the `Response` instance.
Examples of usage:
...##+js(json-prune, ads, , , fetchPropsToMatch, ?param=)
...##+js(json-prune, ads, , , fetchPropsToMatch, url:?param= method:get)
The optional variable argument `fetchPropsToMatch` acts as an additional
narrowing condition to fulfill before the JSON data is pruned.
Specifically, the variable argument `log` can take one of three
values to enable logging mechanism:
..., log, match => log only when there is a match
..., log, nomatch => log only when there is no match
..., log, all => log unconditionally
Prepend pattern with `!` to test for unmatched patterns in
stack trace. This applies to sctiplet parameters which purpose
is to test against the stack, i.e. `aost` and `json-prune`.
Additionally, dropped support for JSON notation in favor of
optional variable arguments notation.

This extends logging capabilities of `json-prune` scriptlet as
follow:
...##+js(json-prune, a, b, stackNeedle, log, [logneedle], logstack, 1)
Whereas before, the only way to log `json-prune` usage was to skip
providing the property chain:
...##+js(json-prune, , b)
Where `b` was the expression to filter out logging output.
With the extended logging capabilities, the logging output can
be filtered out with `logneedle`, which can be a regex literal.
Additionally, to log the stack trace the `stackNeedle` argument
must be set to non-empty string. You can use `/.^/` to log the
stack trace without matching it.

Additionally, uBO's own scriplet syntax now also accept quoting
the parameters with either `'` or `"`. This can be used to avoid
having to escape commas when they are present in a parameter.

Testing the context was causing the deprecated static property
RegExp.$1 to be clobbered, causing webpage breakage because this
property was subsequently used used by the caller.
New official name: `no-window-open-if`.
The pattern will now be matched against all arguments passed
to `window.open()`: all the arguments are joined as a single
space-spearated string, and the result is used as the target
for matching the pattern.
To enable logging, used the extra parameters approach, i.e.
`log, 1`, which should come after the positional arguments
`pattern`, `delay`, and `decoy`.
Added support for extra parameter `reload, 1`. If present,
the scriplet will force a reload of the webpage if the cookie
being set was not already set.
As per feedback from filter list maintainers.
The scriptlet remove the *whole* text of a DOM node. Usage:
example.com##+js(remote-node-text, nodeName, condition, ...)
Where `condition` is a pattern to find in the target node for the
removal to occur. Since the text of the node is wholly removed,
this is not a scriplet which requires a trusted-source, as it is
virtually a similar capability as removing DOM nodes through
procedural cosmetic operator `:remove()` (which can't target
`#text` nodes), which does not require trusted-source.
Alias: `rmnt`
The extra parameters are the same as those documented for
`replace-node-text`.
For consistency, the alias for `replace-node-text` has been renamed
`rpnt`.
When scriptlets can receive extra optional paramaters, these will
now be passed as pair of extra paramaters in the filter declaration,
whereas each pair is a `name, value` instance.
As a result, the optional paramaters that can be passed to the
`aeld` scriptlet can be passed this way, i.e. no longer need
a JSON approach, example:
github.com##+js(aeld, click, , log, 1)
github.com##+js(aeld, , , runAt, idle, log, 1)
The non-optional paramaters are always positional, after which
the optional paramaters are non-positional pairs of values.
Alias: `trusted-set`
Behaves exactly like set-constant, except that any arbitrary JSON-
compatible value can be set.
By default the value is treated as a string, which can be anything.
If the value starts with `{` and ends with `}`, the value will be
JSON-parsed, and the `value` property of the resulting object will
be used.
As with any scriptlet requiring trust, filters using
`trusted-set-constant` can only come from trusted filter lists,
otherwise they are discarded.

This reflects the _world_ of the MV3 scripting API:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/scripting/ExecutionWorld
MAIN: page's world
ISOLATED: extension's content script world
Some scriptlets are best executed in either world, so this
commit allows to pick in which world a scriptlet should execute
(default to MAIN).
For instance, the new sed.js scriptlet will now execute in
the ISOLATED world.

The `tryCount` parameter has been removed.
The new default behavior of the sed.js scriptlet is to bail out
when the document itself has been fully loaded, i.e. when
DOMContentLoaded event is fired.
Two new parameters have been added to override the default quit out
behavior:
`stay, 1`
Use to force the scriptlet to stay at work forever.
`quitAfter, ms`
This tells the scriptlet to quit `ms` milliseconds after the
page has been loaded, i.e. after the DOMContentLoaded event has
been fired.
The mutation observer of the sed.js scriptlet can be a significant
overhead for pages with dynamically updated DOM, and in most cases
the scriptlet is useful only for DOM changes occurring before the
DOMContentLoaded event, so the default is to quit out when that
event is received ("quit out" means discarding the mutation observer
and having the scriptlet garbage-collected by the JS engine).
At the moment, the only filter lists deemed from a "trusted source"
are uBO-specific filter lists (i.e. "uBlock filters -- ..."), and
the user's own filters from "My filters".
A new scriptlet which can only be used by filter lists from trusted
sources has been introduced: `sed.js`.
The new `sed.js` scriptlet provides the ability to perform
text-level substitutions. Usage:
example.org##+js(sed, nodeName, pattern, replacement, ...)
`nodeName`
The name of the node for which the text content must be substituted.
Valid node names can be found at:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node/nodeName
`pattern`
A string or regex to find in the text content of the node as the target of
substitution.
`replacement`
The replacement text. Can be omitted if the goal is to delete the text which
matches the pattern. Cannot be omitted if extra pairs of parameters have to be
used (see below).
Optionally, extra pairs of parameters to modify the behavior of the scriptlet:
`condition, pattern`
A string or regex which must be found in the text content of the node
in order for the substitution to occur.
`sedCount, n`
This will cause the scriptlet to stop after n instances of substitution. Since
a mutation oberver is used by the scriptlet, it's advised to stop it whenever
it becomes pointless. Default to zero, which means the scriptlet never stops.
`tryCount, n`
This will cause the scriptlet to stop after n instances of mutation observer
run (regardless of whether a substitution occurred). Default to zero, which
means the scriptlet never stops.
`log, 1`
This will cause the scriptlet to output information at the console, useful as
a debugging tool for filter authors. The logging ability is supported only
in the dev build of uBO.
Examples of usage:
example.com##+js(sed, script, /devtoolsDetector\.launch\(\)\;/, , sedCount, 1)
example.com##+js(sed, #text, /^Advertisement$/)
Related issue:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2618
Usage:
example.com##+js(spoof-css, selector, property-name, property-value, ...)
- selector: a valid CSS selector which matches the elements for which
the spoofing must apply.
- property-name: a CSS property name (can be dashed- or camel-cased)
- property-value: the value to return regardless of the currently
computed value.
There can be any number of property-name/property-value pairs, all
separated by commas.
A special property-name/property-value pair `debug/1` can be used
to force the browser to break when `getComputedStyle()` or
`getBoundingClientrect()` is called, useful to help pinpoint usage
of those calls in the page's source code:
example.com##+js(spoof-css, .ad, debug, 1)

Expand `set-constant`: 3rd parameter and beyond are tokens which
modify the behavior of `set-contant`. Valid tokens:
- `interactive`, `end`, `2`: set the constant when the event
`DOMContentInteractive` is fired.
- `complete`, `idle`, `3`: set the constant when the event
`load` is fired.
- `asFunction`: the constant will be a function returning the
specified value.
- `asCallback`: the constant will be a function returning a
function returning the specified value.
- `asResolved`: the constant will be a promise resolving to
the specified value.
- `asRejected`: the constant will be a promise failing with
the specified value.
Harden `no-setimeout-if` and `no-setinterval-if` as per feedback
from filter list maintainers.
As per discussion with filter list maintainers.
THis requires to use JSON notation for parameter passing:
- "runAt": "end" = execute scriptlet at `DOMContentLoaded` event
- "runAt": "idle" = execute scriptlet at `load` event
A new optional parameter has been added to `set-constant`
scriptlet: `runAt`, default to `0`.
..##+js(set, document.body.oncontextmenu, null, 2)
When the `runAt` parameter is present, uBO will take it into
account to possibly defer execution of `set-constant`:
- `runAt` not present: execute immediately
- `runAt` = 1: execute immediately
- `runAt` = 2: execute when document state is "interactive"
- `runAt` = 3: execute when document state is `"complete"
maintainers.
To enable logging, use the JSON approach to pass parameters to
`acs` scriptlet. Example:
..##+js(acs, { "target": "document.oncontextmenu", "log": true })
Whereas "target", "needle", and "context" correspond to their
respective positional argument. Using JSON form to pass parameters
allows to specify extra paramters to facilitate debugging of that
scriptlet:
- `"log": true` => output useful information at the dev console.
- `"debug": true` => break at key locations in the scriptlet.
The added logging/debugging capabilities work only in the dev build
of uBO or if the advanced setting `filterAuthorMode` is set to
`true`.
