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.
- badfilter option was no longer working following last refactoring
changes.
- performance work:
- reduce duplication of large strings.
- new lighter FilterBucket to use when only 2 filters: FilterPair.

Now splitting high-high generics in two subgroups: one group for
simple selectors, another group for complex selectors. Turns out
the great majority of high-high generics are simple selectors, and
simple selectors can be applied incrementally with DOM changes, as
opposed to complex selectors. This brings in a significant perf.
improvement in the processing of high-high generics (previously,
all high-high generic selectors were processed as one big complex
selector).
