A new filtering class has been created: "static extended filtering".
This new class is an umbrella class for more specialized filtering
engines:
- Cosmetic filtering
- Scriptlet filtering
- HTML filtering
HTML filtering is available only on platforms which support modifying
the response body on the fly, so only Firefox 57+ at the moment.
With the ability to modify the response body, HTML filtering has
been introduced: removing elements from the DOM before the source
data has been parsed by the browser.
A consequence of HTML filtering ability is to bring back script tag
filtering feature.
A negative side-effect of not sorting properly the entries was to
cause raw filter lists to linger in memory due to v8's sliced-
string implementation, which caused the parent string (a whole
filter list possibly) to be kept around forever even though it was
no longer used by uBO (raw filter lists are compiled then discarded).
.jshintrc's otion-set is a personal choice, merely a suggestion.
Beside that, it includes some common globals for specific browsers, so
there's no need to set the globals in every .js file.
In order to force strict coding, "use strict" directive was added into
every .js file.
