Additionally, add a button in the About pane
to launch benchmark sessions. The button will
be available only when advanced setting
`benchmarkDatasetURL` is set and pointing to
a valid dataset.
This allows to bring in all the benefits of
syntax highlighting and enhanced editing
features in the element picker, like auto-
completion, etc.
This is also a necessary step to possibly solve
the following issue:
- https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/2035
Additionally, incrementally improved the behavior
of uBO's custom CodeMirror static filtering syntax
mode when double-clicking somewhere in a static
extended filter:
- on a class/id string will cause the whole
class/id string to be selected, including the
prepending `.`/`#`.
- somewhere in a hostname/entity will cause all
the labels from the cursor position to the
right-most label to be selected (subject to
change/fine-tune as per feedback of filter
list maintainers).

The redirectable resource has been renamed
`click2load.html`, so as to avoid uses of dash
characters and to also allow for future different
click-to-load resources.
Additionally, as a requirement to support click-to-load
feature, redirected resources will from now on no
longer be collapsed.

This new feature should considered in its draft
stage and it needs to be fine-tuned as per
feedback.
Important: Only embedded frames can be converted
into click-to-load widgets, as only these can be
properly shieded from access by page content.
Examples of usage:

||scribd.com/embeds/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload
||player.vimeo.com/video/$3p,frame,redirect=clicktoload

Name: `uiTheme`
Default: `unset`
Values:
- `unset`: uBO will pick the theme according to
browser's `prefers-color-scheme`
- `light`: force light scheme
- `dark`: force dark theme
This advanced setting is not to be documented yet as
it has not been decided this is a long term solution.
- Added values for dark mode
- Using the photon colors and reviewing material design - Put this together.
- Correct fieldset-header-ink
- Removed color variables already listed.
- Removal of !important and revert to some already approved colours.

Double-cliking on a URL will cause the whole URL to be
selected, thus making it easier to navigate to this
URL (through your browser "Open in new tab" entry in
contextual menu).
Unrecognized scriptlet names will be highlighted so as
to warn that the filter is not going to be effective.

Changes:
From now on, uBO will allow click-to-subscribe on only
a few select domains, currently:
- https://filterlists.com/
- https://github.com/
- https://github.io/
More domains can be added if and only the demonstration
is made that more than a marginal number of filter lists
can be subscribed from those domains.
The browser alert box is no longer used to confirm
subscription to a filter list. Instead, the asset
viewer has been expanded to serve that purpose. This
way, users can peruse at the content of a filter list
before subscribing to it.
Further iterating on the work done in following commit:

This commit adds a new widget to the element picker to
control the depth of a cosmetic filter selector. The
new widget is essentially just another way of selecting
the depth, which is still controllable through picking
one of the cosmetic filters in the list of candidates.

The ctrl key is no longer used to adjust specificity of
a candidate filter.
A new widget has been added to adjust the specificity of
a candidate filter to various level. The widget will be
visible as long as the candidate filter matches one entry
in the list of suggested candidate cosmetic filters.

In the previous commit, the element picker dialog was
isolated from the page content. This commit is to also
isolate the svg layers from the page content.
With this commit, there is no longer a need for an anonymous
iframe and the isolated world iframe is now directly
embedded in the page.
As a result, pages are now unable to interfere with any
of the element picker user interface. Pages can now only
see an iframe, but are unable to see the content of that
iframe. The styles applied to the iframe are from a user
stylesheet, so as to ensure pages can't override the
iframe's style properties set by uBO.
Added a dotted box around found text occurrences,
as just pale yellow to highlight the text is not
enough to visually distinguish from surrounding text.
Iterating through found text occurrences will now
ensure they are vertically positioned in the middle
of the editor.
Code review following latest changes.
Also, move the input field to the left so that it
renders properly on smaller displays and does not
jump around when the result position/count numbers
change.
This also makes it easier to add more functionality
to the editor's toolbar in the future.
Before this commit, CodeMirror's add-on for search occurrences
was limited to find at most 1000 first occurrences, because of
performance considerations.
This commit removes this low limit by having the search
occurrences done in a dedicated worker. The limit is now
time-based, and highly unlikely to ever be hit under normal
condition.
With this change, all search occurrences are gathered,
and as a result:
- All occurrences are reported in the scrollbar instead of
just the 1,000 first
- The total count of all occurrences is now reported, instead
of capping at "1000+".
- The current occurrence rank at the cursor or selection
position is now reported -- this was not possible to report
this before.
The number of occurrences is line-based, it's not useful to
report finer-grained occurences in uBO.

As a result of earlier redesign, the magnifier ended
up being too small. The size of the magnifier will now
be dependent on the default font size instead of the
parent font size.

CodeMirror's code folding reference:
- https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#addon_foldcode
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
Rename `l` property to `len`, to avoid ambiguity as
`l` could mean _left_ or _length_. Typically `l` is
to be used for _left_ (whereas `r` is to be used for
_right_).
Additionally, add CodeMirror's bracket-matching and
bracket auto-closing to _My filters_ pane and and
bracket-matching to asset viewer page.
This commit moves some of the parsing logic of static
extended filtering into the static filtering parser; this
allows better syntax highlighting and creation-time
error-catching for cosmetic, HTML, and scriptlet filters.
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.
There have been too many examples out there of users
opting-in to "I am an advanced user" and yet still misusing
dynamic filtering by creating _allow_ rules where _noop_
rules should be used.
Creating _allow_ rules has serious consequences as these
override blocking static filters and can potentially
disable other advanced filtering ability such as
HTML filtering and scriptlet injection -- often used
to deal with anti-blocker mechanisms.
The ability to point-and-click to create _allow_ rules
from the popup panel is no longer allowed by default.
An new advanced setting has been added to enable
the ability to create _allow_ rules from the popup
panel, `popupPanelGodMode`, which default to `false`.
Set to `true` to restore ability to set _allow_ rules
from popup panel.
Since the creation of _allow_ rules is especially useful
to filter list authors, to diagnose and narrow down site
breakage as a result of problematic blocking filter,
the creation of _allow_ rules will still be available
when the advanced setting `filterAuthorMode` is `true`.
This change is probably going to be problematic to all
those users who were misusing dynamic filtering by
creating _allow_ rules instead of _noop_ rules -- but
the breakage is going to bring their misusing to their
attention, a positive outcome.
