"type": "array",

}
Supported tokens:

Collecting matched rules when the extension is side-loaded is now
opt-in, by enabling "Developer mode" in the dashboard.
The reason is to allow the extension to behave same as the official
released version when side-loaded.
Specifically, as side-loaded extension, uBOL's service worker would
wake up due to matched-rule listener even though it would not wake
up the worker with same configuration in stable release.
Not all matching scriptlets were injected on a given site in Optimal
or Complete mode when default mode was set to Basic or less.
A high profile manifestation of this bug was that Youtube ads were
not being blocked when using Optimal on Youtube while default mode
was Basic.

Add "Filter lists" pane in dashboard
The DNR API now supports enabling 50 static rulesets put of a
maximum of 100 (instead of 10 out of 50 originally). Thus given
the potentially growing number of static rulesets, the available
stock rulesets has been moved to its own pane, with the following
improvements:
- Support sublists
- Support search
Aditionally, "RU AdList: Counter" has been added as a stock
ruleset.
Other changes:
- Do not re-evaluate regexes which failed validation
- Better reduce `removeparam` rules

The issue was fixed months ago.
The removed code block is causing uBOL to be flagged as "including
remotely hosted code".
To be clear, the removed obsolete code block was not related to
executing remote code. The referenced code was in the file itself,
not remote, and this was a workaround for when Firefox was not
supporting injecting script in the `MAIN` world.
The issue was fixed months ago in Firefox, so there is no point for
the workaround.

New policy setting: `rulesets`
Type: array
Type of array items: string
Each item in the list is a list id (as seen in `rulesets/ruleset-details.json`),
prefixed with either `+` to enable the ruleset, or `-` to disable the ruleset.
Users will not be able to enable or disable rulesets present in the `rulesets`
policy. Disabled rulesets will not appear in the dashboard.
Use `-*` to remove all non-default rulesets, except for those added
using `+[ruleset_id]`.
Additionally, some work has been done to properly handle policy changes in
a non-blocking and deferred manner, as I observed that it often takes long
for calls to `storage.manage.get` to resolve. This potentailly takes care
of the following issue:
