As per feedback, Firefox is not causing large numbers
to be rendered in a compact form with German locale.
In Chromium, the number 40712345 renders as "40,71 Mio."
for the German locale, while in Firefox the same renders
as "40.710.000".
FilterPlainHostname, an atomic filter unit, has been
removed and is being replaced with a composite filter
made of a pattern filter and a filter which test
hostname boundaries.
Doing so enables filters formerly being represented
by FilterPlainHostname to be now represented as a
plain pattern, and thus to be potentially stored in
a bidi-trie.
Comparing the new filter histogram with the previous
one:
FilterPatternPlain 24612 26432 1820
FilterComposite 17656 17125 -531
FilterPlainTrie Content 12977 13519 542
FilterPlainHostname 2904 0 -2904
FilterBucket 2121 1961 -160
FilterPlainTrie 1418 1578 160
Which means:
- An extra 542 patterns could be stored in bidi-tries
- There are 531 less composite filters needed
- An extra 160 buckets could be aggregated into 160
bidi-trie
Memory-wise, it's a marginal gain (as per Chromium's
Javascript VM instance figure) -- i.e. not worth
talking about). CPU-wise, no measurable difference.
The benefit is that I consider this conceptually
simplifies slightly the static network filtering
code base.
Specifically, the sticky controls box is re-parented
pre-emptively instead of waiting for the decision as
to whether the panel must be toggled into a vertical
layout mode.
Additionally, have the width of the page selector
in the logger proportional to the width of the
logger -- this should improve usability on small
screen devices.

The fix is trivial enough that I feel confident to make
it part of current RC cycle. There are many reports of
block page at launch on Chromium.
The fix is to let the platform pick it's natural suspend
state rather than force it. Once advanced settings are
read, the suspend state will for toggled only if
`suspendTabsUntilReady` is either `yes` or `no`. This
there should no longer be blocked page on Chromium at
launch when using default settings.

Originally the idea was to hide from view the
popup panel layout seemingly being recalculated
by the browser at open time, causing visuals in
the popup panel to slightly move around. Possibly
no longer an issue now that the popup panel
initialization code has been modified since then
to use animation frames.
