Notably:
- Import logger improvements from uBO
- Import CNAME uncloaking from uBO
- Import more improvements from uBO
- Make use of modern JS features
This should un-stall further development of uMatrix.
Related issues:
- "Requests bypass uMatrix on Firefox start"
<https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uMatrix-issues/issues/69>
Using same approach as with uBO:
https://github.com/gorhill/uBloc/commit/41548be6be35
`suspendTabsUntilReady` advanced setting added to "More" pane,
useful only for Chromium -- the blocking of early network
requests is enforced unconditionally on Firefox (because it
supports returning Promises from webRequest handlers).
- "Cookies leaking temporarily"
<https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uMatrix-issues/issues/74>
Changes in the webRequest API in Chromium 72+ caused uMatrix
to fail to process `Cookie` and `Referer` headers on that
platform.
- us integer tab id -- do not stringify anymore
- improved the parsing of hosts files
- better handling of behind-the-scene network requests when a
context is provided by the webRequest API
- imported webextFlavor code from uBO
- converted instances of object-as-dict to Map()
- drop needless overhead now that legacy support is dropped
- output extra information about the headers which are
modified and their value before/after modification
- Opening a tab from incognito window didn't focus the target window
- Previously active tab was visible for a brief moment when an already
opened tab was selected from another window
