Click-to-load

Support to replace embedded frames with a click-to-load widget. Examples of usage:

||youtube.com/embed/$3p,frame,redirect=click2load.html
||scribd.com/embeds/$3p,frame,redirect=click2load.html
||player.vimeo.com/video/$3p,frame,redirect=click2load.html

Result:

Users of medium mode can experiment with a redirect rule to reveal embedded frames in a page:

*$3p,frame,redirect-rule=click2load.html

Or if you want to have click-to-load only for embedded widgets from specific origins being blocked (reminder: redirect-rule does not create a block filter):

 ||youtube.com/embed/$3p,frame,redirect-rule=click2load.html

Changes:

Resources redirected to local, neutered versions will no longer be collapsed as would occur if those resources were only blocked. This change is to enable implementation of the new click-to-load feature.

Cloud storage compression is now enabled by default.

Closed as fixed:
