## Fixes:

- [Force prodecural cosmetic filtering when explicitly stated](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/14d4340edd375b861129ec3519799fcf9a8ae1f5)
    - Using `#?#` instead of `##` will prevent uBO from potentially using the declarative form of a filter where possible.
- [Fallback to procedural :has() operator when argument is not a valid plain CSS selector](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/8f39a457b869c6a3bc32e2190e7a11a33a74695f)
- [Add missing method to shim script](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/04114942aaaa371683930bbf799e439e33f8aaea)
