Allow a shield toggle to enable/disable cosmetic filtering

See original GitHub issue

Description

Having another shield option to allow us to disable/enable cosmetic filtering on a per site basis.

Was discussed here; https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/8688

To be used to help debug webcompat issues (by us and by the user), an easy option to disable cosmetic filter to help where we need to. Cosmetic filter default should stay enabled by default.

Miscellaneous Information:

uBO has a similar filter option, https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Per-site-switches#no-cosmetic-filtering

If a cosmetic filtering shield option isn’t viable, making a custom option in chrome://settings/content/siteDetails might be a middle ground (just an idea).

@antonok-edm that initial decision (no shields toggle) was because, in the initial proposal, the original options were either “default on, with 1p vs 3p distinctions” (i.e. what we shipped) or “default off, with shields toggle”.

But now that we’re default on, I think a shields toggle would be fine with

  • off
  • 3p (default)
  • all

options.
