Highly generic cosmetic filter

[MasterKia]

#54 (comment):

Whether highly generic cosmetic filters should be supported is something I haven't yet decided.

Is there some thing filterlist maintainers could do to know if a cosmetic filter is highly generic?

Highly generic cosmetic filters are those with no id # and no class . anywhere in their selector:

##[href^="https://sbobet.host"]
##a[href^="https://sbobet.host"]

If there appears at least one id or class, the cosmetic filter will be lowly generic and injected through the DOM surveyor.

Not highly generic

###a [href^="https://sbobet.host"]
###a[href^="https://sbobet.host"]
##.a [href^="https://sbobet.host"]
##.a[href^="https://sbobet.host"]
##[href^="https://sbobet.host"] #b
##[href^="https://sbobet.host"].b
...

How about the filters that just have other attributes (but not contain attributes' values), like ##[data-ad-cls]?

Highly generic since they do not have any id or class.

I see, understood.
