Enhance Filtering Log to show which cosmetic rules were applied (like AG Chrome Extension does)

[adrianh-za]

AdGuard for Windows groups all cosmetic filters applied into single log entry. It would be great to be able to see individual cosmetic filters that were applied like AdGuard Chrome Extention displays.

The is the same website using same filter list, first using AG for Windows, and second using AG Chrome Extension. Notice the yellow log entries for AG for Windows that states 9 rules were applied, but the AG Chrome Extension list all 9 yellow log entries.

Your environment

• AG Version: Latest AG for Windows nightly as at 2 April 2019
• Environment name and version: Google Chrome Version 73.0.3683.86 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Operating system and version: Windows 10

Unfortunately, this is impossible in AGW due to the fact that all the cosmetic rules, which can be even theoretically related to the request, injected into the HTML page and only then some of them modify DOM. AGW cannot detect what particular rules were applied to the page (i.e. to the HTML's DOM), while AG Chrome extension can (because of another work principle)

@adbuker well, this is possible actually, why can't content script detect applied cosmetic rules and then notify the program about them?

Also, we already have this feature request in the CoreLibs repo:
AdguardTeam/CoreLibs#180

hm, I meant with the currently available tool, it's my confusion. Indeed, the enhancement in the content-script solve the issue
