Description (last modified by kzar)

Background

In order for relative selectors to work properly when combined with our special pseudo classes such as :abp-has we sometimes need to prefix selectors with the ​:scope CSS pseudo class (see #5436).

Unfortunately :scope is not yet supported by Microsoft Edge and therefore filters which use it are ignored.

What to change

  • Detect if :scope isn't available (querySelector() will throw an exception).
  • Switch to alternative method to build the selector if :scope isn't available, likely slower.
  • Ensure to run the test with both code path.

As it is, the alternative has been found by Microsoft now that they are cancelling EdgeHTML.

This bug will fix itself.

Since :scope is available on all platforms we support now (including the new Edge presumably), I think we can close this now.

Let's wait that Edge uses Chromium and that we can verify this is working.
