Automatic filter creation for advanced users

[Ro-Den]

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter issue
  • Filter issues MUST be reported at filter issue tracker
• This is not a support issue or a question
  • Support issues and questions are handled at /r/uBlockOrigin
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
  • Your issue may already be reported.
• I tried to reproduce the issue when...
  • uBlock Origin is the only extension
  • uBlock Origin with default lists/settings
  • using a new, unmodified browser profile
• I am running the latest version of uBlock Origin
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior

Description

Is it possible to add automatic filter creation? Like, auto-clicking "Create' on specified domains. For advanced users only, of course.

A specific URL where the issue occurs

Any domain specified by the user in Advanced settings.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Right-click
2. Click "Block element..."
3. Click "Create"

Expected behavior:

if ( bestCandidateFilter !== null && window.location.hostname.includes('.example.com') ) {
    onDialogClicked('create');
}

Actual behavior:

One has to click "Create" all the time even if the bestCandidateFilter is really the best one and always the best one in a particular domain.

Your environment

• uBlock Origin version: 1.27
• Browser Name and version: Mozilla Firefox Quantum 68.8.0 ESR (64-bit)
• Operating System and version: Linux Kubuntu 20.04

I don't see this as a good idea, the picker is a tool to assist filter creation, it's not to be used as a tool to make final decision on behalf of user.
