1.9.16

Changes:

Some work has been done on the element picker:

• can now handle procedural cosmetic filters (:has, matches-css, :xpath), and also the special operator :style -- matching elements of such filters will be highlighted like normal CSS selector-based filters.
• an invalid filter in the input field will now trigger a visual cue: the background of the input field will be reddish.
• the number of elements on the current page matching the filter in the input field is now displayed in the bottom right corner of the input field.
• the preview mode is now sticky, i.e. you can modify the filter in the input field without being kicked out of preview mode. Convenient when creating :style-based cosmetic filters.

The Privacy setting "Disable hyperlink auditing/beacon" has been changed to "Disable hyperlink auditing", and network requests of type beacon are no longer blanket-blocked. The network requests of type beacon will now be filtered just like any other network requests, according to the current filters/rules. [need to update wiki doc].

Network requests of type csp_report will be blocked regardless of filters/rules when there is a probability they are fired as a result of uBO internally redirecting one or more network requests to neutered resources. In such case, uBO considers these csp_report network requests as "spurious" and blocks them. An example of such spurious CSP reports being fired as a result of uBO redirecting resources is https://medium.com/ (see dev console when loading a page from that site), where a CSP report is fired by the browser as a result of uBO redirecting Google Analytics script to uBO's neutered version.
