* saveStyle: retain only known properties in sections[] and normalize their order
* remove styleDigest on import
* shorten detailed status names in updater
* don't autohide update status message
+ 1.5x speedup thanks to checkedInB memoization
+ more strict type comparison
+ two-way array comparison (more correct, even if there's no practical difference)
We don't mention the G+ iframe on CWS stylable only when "Out of process iframes" feature is enabled which can be set manually via chrome://flags/#enable-site-per-process. It's still in development and is known to break some sites, which is why it's not enabled by default.
To prevent cross-page leaks we need to create/copy prefs and cachedStyles inside the background page context.
* storage.js is now used only in the background page
* messaging.js now contains less bg-specific methods and more common methods. Added saveStyleSafe, deleteStyleSafe which automatically invoke onRuntimeMessage of the current page or just handleUpdate/handleDelete when notify:false
* prefs.js with 'prefs' for background and UI pages: separate objects because a UI page may load before the background page and it can read prefs from localStorage/sync/defaults
Previously prefs.set broadcast many messages per each changed pref value to all open tabs, background page, popups. This lead to repeated and needless updates of various things like the toolbar icon, reapplying of styles, and whatnot. It could easily take more than 100ms on an average computer with many tabs open.
Now we debounce the broadcast & sync.set and coalesce all values in one object which is then sent just once per destination.
* Now that our own pages retrieve the styles directly via getStylesSafe the only 0.001% of cases where code:false would be needed (the browser is starting up with some of the tabs showing our built-in pages like editor or manage) is not worth optimizing for.
* According to CSS4 @document specification the entire URL must match. Stylish-for-Chrome implemented it incorrectly since the very beginning. We detect styles that abuse the bug by finding the sections that would have been applied by Stylish but not by us as we follow the spec. Additionally we'll check for invalid regexps.
Popup:
* Enforce 200-800px range for the popup width option
Manage:
* faster search via cachedStyles.byId
* faster restoration of search results on history nav
* style name is clickable and opens the editor
* animated highlight of style element on update/add/save
* expandable extra applies-to targets
* remember scroll position on normal history navigation
* boz-sizing in #header, also in editor
* applies-to targets use structured markup
* get*Tab*, enableStyle and deleteStyle are promisified
Previously, when a cache was invalidated and every tab/iframe issued a getStyles request, we previous needlessly accessed IndexedDB for each of these requests. It happened because 1) the global cachedStyles was created only at the end of the async DB-reading, 2) and each style record is retrieved asynchronously so the single threaded JS engine interleaved all these operations. It could easily span a few seconds when many tabs are open and you have like 100 styles.
Now, in getStyles: all requests issued while cachedStyles is being populated are queued and invoked at the end.
Now, in filterStyles: all requests are cached using the request's options combined in a string as a key. It also helps on each navigation because we monitor page loading process at different stages: before, when committed, history traversal, requesting applicable styles by a content script. Icon badge update also may issue a copy of the just issued request by one of the navigation listeners.
Now, the caches are invalidated smartly: style add/update/delete/toggle only purges filtering cache, and modifies style cache in-place without re-reading the entire IndexedDB.
Now, code:false mode for manage page that only needs style meta. It reduces the transferred message size 10-100 times thus reducing the overhead caused by to internal JSON-fication in the extensions API.
Also fast&direct getStylesSafe for own pages; code cosmetics
