Two questions - Filter list URL and Performance improvements

[gituporabnik]

I have 2 different questions concerning uBlock Origin.

1. Since the latest version, Badware filter list has been added. Could its URL be pasted here for the users of older versions (since AMO does not update add-ons frequently)? I would like to add filter list manually.

2. The latest uBlock version (by chrisaljoudi) has some "Firefox performance improvements". Have they been implemented in uBlock Origin as well?

Thank you!

1. You can use this https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gorhill/uBlock/master/assets/ublock/badware.txt for now.

2. I have no idea, there were some improvements, but I don't think all of them were forked here (e.g: ability to block an element from the web-inspector).
   Some of the improvements made for Firefox:

The original issue was opened here (great issue report), it was fixed within 2 days with refactoring the problematic code^[1], and the fix was released in 0.9.8.3.

uBlock Origin will have its own DOM inspector, optimized to deal with cosmetic filters, and working on all platforms. It's magnitude more work to implement, but this will make it a breeze to create cosmetic filters (including the missing ability to create exception cosmetic filters).
