"No filtering" feature doesn't ignore the default lists #131

The "No filtering" feature (and noFiltering managed preference) don't allow fetch requests / XMLHttpRequests from hosts in the blocklists.

Whilst the list is intended to block trackers and metrics, it will also therefore breaks any site that uses Statsig's feature flag service.

EDIT: It seems that the allowAllRequests action is given if your browser visits the site, and that allow is given if you are sourcing a script from the site; but there is no grant for xmlhttprequest

By design, "No filtering" is a filtering mode, it applies to sites you visit. If you do not want filtering when visiting facebook.com, it does not mean you want facebook.com to not be filtered everywhere else facebook.com resources are used as 3rd-party.
