Description

Background

Slow regular expressions can easily kill the filter matching performance, even if the request type or document domain doesn't match. Hence we should change the order of checks when matching filters, perfoming the less expensive checks first.

What to change

Change the implementation of Filter.matches(), to first match request type, third party and document domain. And perform the the regexp match last only if all other tests passed.
