This commit makes the DNS resolution code better suited for both filtering on cname and ip address. The change allows early availability of ip address so that `ipaddress=` option can be matched at onBeforeRequest time. As a result, it is now possible to block root document using `ipaddress=` option -- so long as an ip address can be extracted before first onBeforeRequest() call. Related issue: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2792 Caveat ------ the ip address used is the first one among the list of ip addresses returned by dns.resolve() method. There is no way for uBO to know which exact ip address will be used by the browser when sending the request, so this is at most a best guess. The exact IP address used by the browser is available at onHeadersReceived time, and uBO will also filter according to this value, but by then the network request has already been sent to the remote server. Possibly a future improvement would make available the whole list of ip addresses to the filtering engine, but even then it's impossible to know with certainty which ip address will ultimately be used by the browser -- it is entirely possible that the ip address used by the browser might not be in the list received through dns.resolve(). |

uBlock Origin (uBO)
BEWARE! uBO is (and has always been) COMPLETELY UNRELATED to the website ublock.org.
IMPORTANT: About Google Chrome's "This extension may soon no longer be supported"
uBlock Origin (uBO) is a CPU and memory-efficient wide-spectrum content blocker for Chromium and Firefox. It blocks ads, trackers, coin miners, popups, annoying anti-blockers, malware sites, etc., by default using EasyList, EasyPrivacy, Peter Lowe's Blocklist, Online Malicious URL Blocklist, and uBO filter lists. There are many other lists available to block even more. Hosts files are also supported. uBO uses the EasyList filter syntax and extends the syntax to work with custom rules and filters.
You may easily unselect any preselected filter lists if you think uBO blocks too much. For reference, Adblock Plus installs with only EasyList, ABP filters, and Acceptable Ads enabled by default.
It is important to note that using a blocker is NOT theft. Do not fall for this creepy idea. The ultimate logical consequence of blocking = theft is the criminalization of the inalienable right to privacy.
Ads, "unintrusive" or not, are just the visible portion of the privacy-invading means entering your browser when you visit most sites. uBO's primary goal is to help users neutralize these privacy-invading methods in a way that welcomes those users who do not wish to use more technical means.

Chromium
Microsoft Edge Add-ons (Published by: Nicole Rolls)
uBO should be compatible with any Chromium-based browser.
All Programs
Do NOT use uBO with any other content blocker. uBO performs as well as or better than most popular blockers. Other blockers can prevent uBO's privacy or anti-blocker-defusing features from working correctly.
