Changes:

Firefox support for browser settings has been added, so now the new privacy settings in the Settings pane are also effective in Firefox.

A new privacy setting has been added:

[ ] Disable hyperlink auditing/beacon

Checked by default. Background information regarding hyperlink auditing.

Note that with Chromium, hyperlink auditing is enabled by default, and there is no UI in the browser setting pages to disable it. Now there is with uBlock. (edit: ok, there is a sort of UI, not exactly user friendly and upfront though.)

With the following steps I can have Google generate a ping request, so I use these to validate that the disabling of hyperlink auditing works:

Open the logger, select Behind the scene scope.
In Google, search buy iphone.
Find a link to bestbuy.com in the links offered as result (I get one to bestbuy.ca).
Click that link.
If hyperlink auditing is not disabled, you should see a behind-the-scene request to google.*.

The setting will also affect whether navigator.sendBeacon is enabled/disabled. You can see these behind-the-scene requests while navigating Gihub (https://www.google-analytics.com/collect). Unfortunately, it does not seem possible at this time to disable navigator.sendBeacon in Chromium.
Closed as fixed:
Fennec

Closed as fixed:

Tab For a Cause ads not loading after whitelist in Chrome
Tab For a Cause is an extension which overrides the new tab in Chromium/Chrome.
If newtab.chrome-scheme is whitelisted (which it is by default), the Tab For a Cause should work fine now, with no further whitelist directive or special filter needed.
I did not confirm but I suspect this was a regression bug from fix to #248.

Notes:

The new static filtering UI in the logger won't work for non en languages, as I did not submit the new required strings to Crowdin yet. I first need to write some guidelines to explain how to translate these new strings.

New

New UI in the logger to assist in creating static filters.

Changes

Issue #59 was fixed as a side-effect of some specific re-factoring related to how the static filtering engine returns results -- a necessary step toward fixing other future issues. The effect of this specific re-factoring:

The logger will now report accurately the static (atomic) filter which affects a network request. For examples:
The third-party filter option is now reported if present (it wasn't before).
If a filter applies to a specific request type, this is now reported (it wasn't before).
If a filter applies to a specific domain, this is now always reported (it wasn't always before).
Some overhead removed from the static filtering engine for when the logger is not opened.
Previously, uBlock was returning a string representation of a filter in case of match, even if that (inaccurate) string representation was not going to be used in the logger. This does not happen anymore.

Fixed:

New

New UI in the logger to assist in creating static filters.
A new per-site switch to disable remote fonts. "Side-effect" is to fix issue #15:
Simply add the rule no-remote-fonts: * true to "My rules", and remote fonts from everywhere will be blocked by default -- yet uBlock will still be able to use its FontAwesome font from its package.
As a opposed to using a browser setting to disable remote fonts, you can enable remote fonts on a per-site basis -- so disabling remote fonts is no longer an all or nothing choice.
The number of times a page did or did try to download remote fonts appears as a badge aside the switch.

Caveat: Chromium's webRequest API does not specifically report requests of type font, fonts are reported as type other. Whether a request is for a font resource is inferred by uBlock using the "extension" of the path part of a URL. However a URL can be anything really, regardless of request type, so for Chromium-based browsers, uBlock may have to block a font AFTER the request is made, when the response headers are received from the remote server -- as the response headers allow to identify for sure the type of a resource.

Ability to find out from which filter lists a static network filter originates (related issue: #58):

[Blockierte Grafik: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/585534/8112038/45e8dcd4-1033-11e5-8e93-1475d02bf6f4.png]

If a static network is present in the 3rd-column of a row, clicking on the cell will show the filter list(s) in which the filter can be found.
There is a resource cost to reverse lookup filter lists from a filter, but this is mitigated by implementing the reverse lookup as a standalone "service", which is launched if and only if an actual reverse lookup is requested.
The reverse lookup service will shutdown itself after being idle for a set time (currently 11 minutes), so that the extra resources used are freed.
Since reverse lookup is potentially CPU intensive (depending on number of lists, size of lists), the lookup is performed from within a Worker, i.e. its own dedicated thread.
Strict blocking will now show you which filter list(s) caused a document to be blocked (using reverse lookup service above):

Related issue: #58
Can be accessed from the logger: if a static network filter is present in the 3rd-column of a row, clicking on the cell will show the filter list(s) in which the filter can be found.

There is a resource cost to reverse lookup filter lists from a filter, but this is mitigated by implementing the reverse lookup as a standalone "service", which is launched if and only if an actual reverse lookup is requested.

Since reverse lookup is potentially CPU intensive (depending on number of lists, size of lists), the lookup is performed from within a Worker, i.e. its own dedicated thread:

Resource cost while reverse lookup service is alive: 6.5 MB on Nightly. It's because all the storage version of filter lists in use must be kept in live memory to perform the lookup efficiently.
The reverse lookup "service" will shutdown itself after being idle for a set time (currently 11 minutes), so that the extra resources used are freed.
Strict blocking will now show you which filter list(s) caused a document to be blocked

This is accomplished by using the reverse lookup feature described above.
