Changes:

##script:inject(...), which has been deprecated in favor of ##+js(...) for more than two years, is no longer supported.

It's no longer possible to point-and-click to create allow (green) rules from within the popup panel by default. This change is motivated by seeing way too many cases of improper usage of dynamic filtering in which users are creating allow (green) rules where noop (gray) rules should have been used. You can get back temporarily the ability to create allow rules from within the popup panel by tapping twice the Ctrl key.

Improved syntax highlighting of static filters in "My filters" and asset viewer. Additionally:

• Ability to toggle commenting out of filter(s) by pressing the Tab key
  
• Auto-completion using Ctrl-Space, this works for:
  
  • Static filter options
    
  • Resource names for redirect= option
    
  • Procedural operators for cosmetic/HTML filters
    
  • Scriptlet names for ##+js filters
    

Closed as fixed:

Chromium 65

• Broken popup panel in Chromium 65
