Testing

After loading the extension:

1. Visit test/test.html and make sure all divs on the page are hidden, then disable the extension and re-enable it, then make sure each rectangle is the same size as the original div.
2. Visit https://rednoise.org/adntest/simple.html and do the same check.
3. Visit https://hk.yahoo.com and verify that all ads are either hidden or replaced with rectangles. Disable the extension and enable it again, then make sure that more at least 75% of the ads are replaced. Pay attention to ads inserted in the news lists (when testing this from Asia, make sure the filter list AdGuard Chinese is enabled).
