Add experimental mv3 version This create a separate Chromium extension, named "uBO Minus (MV3)". This experimental mv3 version supports only the blocking of network requests through the declarativeNetRequest API, so as to abide by the stated MV3 philosophy of not requiring broad "read/modify data" permission. Accordingly, the extension should not trigger the warning at installation time: Read and change all your data on all websites The consequences of being permission-less are the following: - No cosmetic filtering (##) - No scriptlet injection (##+js) - No redirect= filters - No csp= filters - No removeparam= filters At this point there is no popup panel or options pages. The default filterset correspond to the default filterset of uBO proper: Listset for 'default': https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/badware.txt https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/filters.txt https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/filters-2020.txt https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/filters-2021.txt https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/filters-2022.txt https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/privacy.txt https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/quick-fixes.txt https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/resource-abuse.txt https://ublockorigin.github.io/uAssets/filters/unbreak.txt https://easylist.to/easylist/easylist.txt https://easylist.to/easylist/easyprivacy.txt https://malware-filter.gitlab.io/malware-filter/urlhaus-filter-online.txt https://pgl.yoyo.org/adservers/serverlist.php?hostformat=hosts&showintro=1&mimetype=plaintext The result of the conversion of the filters in all these filter lists is as follow: Ruleset size for 'default': 22245 Good: 21408 Maybe good (regexes): 127 redirect-rule= (discarded): 458 csp= (discarded): 85 removeparams= (discarded): 22 Unsupported: 145 The fact that the number of DNR rules are far lower than the number of network filters reported in uBO comes from the fact that lists-to-rulesets converter does its best to coallesce filters into minimal set of rules. Notably, the DNR's requestDomains condition property allows to create a single DNR rule out of all pure hostname-based filters. Regex-based rules are dynamically added at launch time since they must be validated as valid DNR regexes through isRegexSupported() API call. At this point I consider being permission-less the limiting factor: if broad "read/modify data" permission is to be used, than there is not much point for an MV3 version over MV2, just use the MV2 version if you want to benefit all the features which can't be implemented without broad "read/modify data" permission. To locally build the MV3 extension: make mv3 Then load the resulting extension directory in the browser using the "Load unpacked" button. From now on there will be a uBlock0.mv3.zip package available in each release. 2022-09-06 17:47:52 +00:00			`{`
