v2.0.60 (2026-03-16)

Added

• --dns-cache flag for persistent dig/whois disk caching between runs (.digcache, .whoiscache)
• --load-extension <path> flag to load unpacked Chrome extensions (supports multiple)
• --block-ads now supports comma-separated list files (--block-ads=easylist.txt,easyprivacy.txt)
• disable_ad_tagging config option to control Chrome AdTagging (default: true)
• DNS cache hit/miss statistics in scan summary output with fresh domain names listed
• Concurrent dig/whois deduplication — multiple pages requesting the same domain share one lookup
• SIGINT/SIGTERM handlers for --keep-open to prevent orphaned Chrome processes

Fixed

• Adblock pipe (|) character handling — mid-pattern pipes were incorrectly treated as anchors, causing broad false positives on EasyList rules like /addyn|*|adtech;
• Domain Map fast path was skipping resource type checks — $ping, $script etc. now correctly enforced
• Domain extraction for ||domain.com/path rules — path was incorrectly included in domain name
• --keep-open now skips extension-blocking Chrome flags so Chrome Web Store and extensions work
• Corrupt disk cache files are deleted instead of persisted
• getBaseDomain() now uses psl for correct multi-part TLD handling (.co.uk, .com.au)
• Merged 7 separate --disable-features flags into one — Chrome only reads the last occurrence

Improved

• $document rules treated as full domain blocks (matches all resource types)
• adblock.js: regex cache for compiled patterns, Set for resource type lookups, lazy parentDomains, two-level result cache with LRU eviction (32K), hoisted constants, freed parsed options after rule parsing
• output.js: capped wildcard regex cache at 500, simplified *.domain.com suffix matching, hoisted resource type map
• compare.js: pre-compiled and deduplicated 6 normalization regexes
• grep.js: build grep args once outside pattern loop
• domain-cache.js: use Set iterator for eviction instead of full array copy
• nettools.js: hoisted ANSI strip regex, disk cache flushes once on exit instead of per-lookup
• Dig/whois cache: 14-hour TTL, 1000 entry limit, pretty-printed JSON files
