#### Why is the new inline script tag filter a cosmetic one?
Because blocking inline script tags is conceptually closer to cosmetic filtering than network filtering: inline script tags are embedded in a web page, so if the web page is downloaded, the inline script tags are downloaded -- there is no way around this.

Whatever can't be blocked using a network request filter can be taken care by a cosmetic filter, which is the removal of DOM elements from a web page. Hence inline script tag filtering is implemented using the cosmetic filter syntax -- the only difference is that when blocked, inline script tags are not removed from view (they are already invisible) but instead the execution of the javascript code inside the script tag is blocked.
