0.9.0.0
Reminder: Chromium (or browsers based on) still suffer from that ugly bug which causes a big chunk of memory leak each time a user opens the popup UI of an extension. Therefore, the more you use the popup UI in Chromium, the larger the memory footprint of µBlock (or any extension really) will grow. I've already seen feedback like "doesn't have a µ memory footprint at all for me. >250MB" (for µMatrix). This is important to keep this Chromium memory leak bug in mind if you make use of dynamic filtering, as this feature requires frequent access to the popup UI.
Changes:
- Network request logger: added functionalities to the network request logger
- Dashboard: The last time of restore and/or backup is now shown in the Settings pane in the dashboard
- Element picker: filters created from element picker will now be labeled with the time at which the filter was created and the exact URL from where it was created, as a comment above the filter entry
- Element picker: you can now use wildcard(s) for a network filter when manually editing it
- The element picker will highlight all the matches on the web page
