New
New cosmetic procedural operator: :nth-ancestor(x), where x is the distance from the currently selected node. It is effectively a low-overhead equivalent to :xpath(..[/..]*). Using an existing filter as an example:
fastbay.org##.detLink:has-text(VPN):xpath(../../..)
Could be rewritten with the new operator:
fastbay.org##.detLink:has-text(VPN):nth-ancestor(3)
The new operator has a lower overhead as it avoids the need to create and execute XPath expressions.
Closed as fixed
Chromium
- web_accessible_resource secret token accessible to webpages
- Related Chromium issue: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=957866.
- This currently affects browsers based on Chromium 74. I was unable to reproduce the issue with Chromium 73 or Google Chrome 75.
- The mitigation here is to create a new secret token for every network request which is internally redirected to a web accessible resource.
- DNS Prefetching on HTTP sites
Firefox

class - Cache and reuse result of HNTrieRef.matches() when possible
- Introduce three more specialized filter classes to avoid regexes
- Use a sequence of base 64 numbers to encode array buffers
- Add HNTrie-based filter classes to store origin-only filters
- Performance + code maintenance work on static network filtering engine
- Improve usefulness of FilterContainer.benchmark()
