@trustedScriptlet trusted-set-attr
@description
Sets the specified attribute on the specified elements. This scriptlet runs
once when the page loads then afterward on DOM mutations.
Reference: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/Scriptlets/blob/master/wiki/about-trusted-scriptlets.md#-%EF%B8%8F-trusted-set-attr
@param selector
A CSS selector for the elements to target.
@param attr
The name of the attribute to modify.
@param value
The new value of the attribute. Since the scriptlet requires a trusted
source, the value can be anything.

Additionally, start to move scriptlets into their own source files
for easier maintenance and code review.
A new icon has been added to the popup panel, to open a popup
window with a terse list of DNR events for the current tab, in
reverse chronological order (most recent DNR event appears at
the top).
The new ability is available only when the extension is sideloaded,
as per `declarativeNetRequestFeedback` documentation. Ref:
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/api/declarativeNetRequest#event-onRuleMatchedDebug
Purposefully minimal, so as to have something rather than nothing
when having to diagnose filtering issue with the DNR API. Example:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/issues/156
The content of the popup window does not dynamically update, force
a refresh (F5) to get the most recent DNR events. This might be
improved in the future.
The DNR event buffer is not persisted, so the buffer is empty when
service worker is restarted. This might be improved in the future
by using session storage API.
There is no output filtering ability in this first draft. This
might be improved in the future.
DNR rules are reported. The filter from which a DNR rule
originates is not reported. Given that the rulesets are optimized
after conversion from original filter lists to reduce the DNR rule
count, this is unlikely to ever be possible.
This is to reduce the diff size of rulesets in new
releases. Beside smaller diff size, this also makes it
easier to investigate rule changes across releases.
Additionally:
Use `export UBO_VERSION=local` at the console to build MV3 extension using
current version of uBO code base. By default, the version is taken from
`./platform/mv3/ubo-version' and usually set to last stable release.
See `managed_storage.json` for available settings. Currently
only `noFiltering` setting is availale.
`noFiltering` is an array of strings, each being a domain for
which no filtering should occur.

Source code of scriplets is now fetched directly from uBO
project, so there is no longer the need to keep duplicate
versions of scriplet code.
All scriplet filters are now supported.
What does not work at the time of commit:
Cosmetic filtering does not work:
The content scripts responsible for cosmetic filtering fail when
trying to inject the stylesheets through document.adoptedStyleSheets,
with the following error message:
XrayWrapper denied access to property Symbol.iterator
(reason: object is not safely Xrayable).
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Xray_vision for more
information. ... css-declarative.js:106:8
A possible solution is to inject those content scripts in the
MAIN world. However Firefox scripting API does not support MAIN
world injection at the moment.
Scriptlet-filtering does not work:
Because scriptlet code needs to be injected in the MAIN world,
and this is currently not supported by Firefox's scripting API,
see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1736575
There is no count badge on the toolbar icon in Firefox, as it
currently does not support the `DNR.setExtensionActionOptions`
method.
Other than the above issues, it does appear uBO is blocking
properly with no error reported in the dev console.
The adoptedStyleSheets issue though is worrisome, as the
cosmetic filtering content scripts were designed with ISOLATED
world injection in mind. Being forced to inject in MAIN world
(when available) make things a bit more complicated as uBO
has to ensure it's global variables do not leak into the page.

We need two different branches of uAssets to properly add the
default filter lists into the packages. I couldn't figure out
how to do this with submodules, using simple `git clone` as a
dependency just work.
`uDom` is old and crusty and `dom` is meant as replacement. The
goal of `dom` is to be simpler and mainly just convenience
methods for handling the DOM with vanilla JS -- this is not a
framework.
Additionally, removed keyboard shortcuts pane which was useful
only on very old versions of Firefox.
This adds support for `redirect=` filters. As with `removeparam=`
filters, `redirect=` filters can only be enforced when the
default filtering mode is set to Optimal or Complete, since these
filters require broad host permissions to be enforced by the DNR
engine.
`redirect-rule=` filters are not supported since there is no
corresponding DNR syntax.
Additionally, fixed the dropping of whole network filters even though
those filters are still useful despite not being completely
enforceable -- for example a filter with a single (unsupported) domain
using entity syntax in its `domain=` option should not be wholly
dropped when there are other valid domains in the list.
The new parser no longer uses the browser DOM to validate
that a cosmetic filter is valid or not, this is now done
through a JS library, CSSTree.
This means filter list authors will have to be more careful
to ensure that a cosmetic filter is really valid, as there is
no more guarantee that a cosmetic filter which works for a
given browser/version will still work properly on another
browser, or different version of the same browser.
This change has become necessary because of many reasons,
one of them being the flakiness of the previous parser as
exposed by many issues lately:
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2262
- https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/2228
The new parser introduces breaking changes, there was no way
to do otherwise. Some current procedural cosmetic filters will
be shown as invalid with this change. This occurs because the
CSSTree library gets confused with some syntax which was
previously allowed by the previous parser because it was more
permissive.
Mainly the issue is with the arguments passed to some procedural
cosmetic filters, and these issues can be solved as follow:
Use quotes around the argument. You can use either single or
double-quotes, whichever is most convenient. If your argument
contains a single quote, use double-quotes, and vice versa.
Additionally, try to escape a quote inside an argument using
backslash. THis may work, but if not, use quotes around the
argument.
When the parser encounter quotes around an argument, it will
discard them before trying to process the argument, same with
escaped quotes inside the argument. Examples:
Breakage:
...##^script:has-text(toscr')
Fix:
...##^script:has-text(toscr\')
Breakage:
...##:xpath(//*[contains(text(),"VPN")]):upward(2)
Fix:
...##:xpath('//*[contains(text(),"VPN")]'):upward(2)
There are not many filters which break in the default set of
filter lists, so this should be workable for default lists.
Unfortunately those fixes will break the filter for previous
versions of uBO since these to not deal with quoted argument.
In such case, it may be necessary to keep the previous filter,
which will be discarded as broken on newer version of uBO.
THis was a necessary change as the old parser was becoming
more and more flaky after being constantly patched for new
cases arising, The new parser should be far more robust and
stay robist through expanding procedural cosmetic filter
syntax.
Additionally, in the MV3 version, filters are pre-compiled
using a Nodejs script, i.e. outside the browser, so validating
cosmetic filters using a live DOM no longer made sense.
This new parser will have to be tested throughly before stable
release.
First iteration of adding scriptlet support. As with cosmetic
filtering, scriptlet niijection occurs only on sites for which
uBO Lite was granted extended permissions.
At the moment, only three scriptlets are supported:
- abort-current-script
- json-prune
- set-constant
More will be added in the future.
