Unable to whitelist a popup request using dynamic filtering - popup closes without control

[Mikey1993]

Steps to reproduce

1) Ensure you have the ||goo.gl^$third-party,popup static rule (which can be obtained from the "Block all well known privacy trackers‎" list - http://gnuzilla.gnu.org/filters/blacklist.txt, as reported by the logger) 2) Enter https://plus.google.com/b/118413096576909445716/+AndroidDevelopers/posts/K3dk18g7GfM 3) Click on the "Smaller PNG Files (100 Days of Google Dev)" text. 4) Observe a popup getting closed immediately after opening (https://goo.gl/XQYvFz is the popup request). 5) Try to green the domain from the Dynamic Filtering panel - fails, still shows a "-" (minus sign) within the green cell, the request isn't whitelisted. 6) Try to green the request through the Dynamic URL filtering - fails, still shows as blocked request in the logger afterwards.

Important Notes: 1) The above steps are only reproduceable on Chrome (v46 Canary). Firefox 42 Nightly allows to open the link in a new tab and there is no https://goo.gl/XQYvFz request shown in the logger. I'm not sure if this is a different behavior of the site to other browsers, or a problem of uBlock on FF to show the request in the logger. 2) Adding manually a whitelist static filter of @@||goo.gl^$third-party,popup resolves the issue (therefore the issue is with the dynamic filtering engine)

Tested on latest uBlock v1.0.0.1

@gorhill, is this a limitation of Chrome or a bug in uBlock? If it's some shenanigans of Chrome, it's better to open an issue on their tracker ASAP IMHO.

Sorry, I missed this issue, probably saw it but forgot to come back to it.

Try to green the domain from the Dynamic Filtering panel - fails

I checked and I confirm that the popup blocking code does not take into account dynamic filtering. I suppose it should.

There was a reason I didn't take into account dynamic filtering. Real solution will need bit more work.
