Some questions about WebRequest Rules

[wordpure]

Sorry, I did not find a feedback channel for WebRequest Rules, so I can only consult here.

1. What is the function of Settings - Miscellaneous - Before loading rules?

   At first I thought it was a global tool class, but after adding the Global Tools template, the rule editing area still does not receive the completion prompt for the isDomain() function.

   Did I guess wrong? Or it can't be called directly?

2. Although most of the functionality of this extension is self-explanatory, it would be more user-friendly with the following additions.

   1. Commonly used functions and corresponding rule examples, such as
      • Redirect request
        remove external link jumps
        redirect to the mirror service...
      • Modify the header
        Disguise the useragent as Chrome or Edge
        remove the site's content-security-policy, x-frame-options...
      • Application of resource types and extended permissions
        limit page redirection to main_frame and sub_frame
        remove history records after redirection...
   2. Provide corresponding instructions for advanced functions
      such as Add template, Adjustable rule priority, Before loading rules, etc.

3. Are you planning to make WebRequest Rules open source? Or provide it with a dedicated place to collect user feedback?

Your guess is correct.
The reason why the autocomplete is not working currently is due to technical limitations with jsdoc/typescript, as referenced in microsoft/TypeScript#7237 microsoft/TypeScript#15626 jsdoc/jsdoc#1826.

   * Application of resource types and extended permissions
     limit page redirection to `main_frame` and `sub_frame`
     remove history records after redirection...

2. Provide corresponding instructions for advanced functions
   such as `Add template`, `Adjustable rule priority`, `Before loading rules`, etc.

I agree that having examples and detailed instructions would be nice.

Yes, I have plans to open source this project.

It is a pity.

Very much looking forward to it.
