During the initialization of the full-screen or popup UI, we attempted
to close the notification popup (if it was open). This never worked (or
at least hasn't in a long time).
The method used to attempt closing the notification popup was
`closePopup` from the `notificationManager`, which keeps track
internally of the id of the notification popup window, and can close
the window by using this id.
However, this id is only set in the first place if the popup is opened
with this specific instance of the `notificationManager`. The popup is
never opened from the UI in practice; it's only opened from the
background (which has its own instance of `notificationManager`). The
popup id is never set for this `notificationManager` instance in the UI.
It's not entirely clear that we'd always want to close the notification
popup in this circumstance anyway. The user might want to open MetaMask
alongside the popup to check something else.
We don't need to store the current UI type as a global. We're already
using the `getEnvironmentType` helper function throughout the UI, so
we'd might as well use that instead of this global state.
* Remove unnecessary `getEnvironmentType` parameter
The default value of the first parameter is `window.location.href`, so
there is no need to pass it in explicitly.
* Remove junk parameter from `getEnvironmentType` invocation
`getEnvironmentType` doesn't need to be passed any parameter, as the
default value is `window.location.href` which is generally what is
wanted. In this case, the variable `location.href` was always
`undefined` anyway. This particular `location` variable is from React
Router, and does not have an `href` property.
* Fix comment for `getEnvironmentType`
One of the possible return values was referred to by the wrong name.
* Specify type before parameter name
Various JSDoc `@param` entries were specified as `name {type}` rather
than `{type} name`.
A couple of `@return` entries have been given types as well.
* Use JSDoc optional syntax rather than Closure syntax
* Use @returns rather than @return
* Use consistent built-in type capitalization
Primitive types are lower-case, and Object is upper-case.
* Separate param/return description with a dash
The AbortController is used in both the background and the UI. Support
for AbortController was added to Chrome in version 66, which is above
our minimum supported version.
I did consider increasing the minimum Chrome version to 66, but we have
a decent number of users still on Chrome 65 unfortunately.
The notice asking whether you wanted to connect to a site was showing
up in places it shouldn't, like on the Firefox/Chrome settings pages
and on our fullscreen extension. It has now been restricted to only
be displayed for active tabs with specific protocols:
* http
* https
* dat
* dweb
* ipfs
* ipns
* ssb
This prevents the notice from being shown on settings pages, browser
extensions, and files such as PDFs.
The CSS is now served as an external file instead of being injected.
This was done to improve performance. Ideally we would come to a middle
ground between this and the former behaviour by injecting only the CSS
that was required for the initial page load, then lazily loading the
rest. However that change would be more complex. The hope was that
making all CSS external would at least be a slight improvement.
Performance metrics were collected before and after this change to
determine whether this change actually helped. The metrics collected
were the timing events provided by Chrome DevTools:
* DOM Content Loaded (DCL) [1]
* Load (L) [2]
* First Paint (FP) [3]
* First Contentful Paint (FCP) [3]
* First Meaningful Paint (FMP) [3]
Here are the results (units in milliseconds):

Unfortunately, using an external CSS file made no discernible improvement
to the overall page load time. DCM and L were practically identical, and
FCP and FMP were marginally better (well within error margins).
However, the first paint time was _dramatically_ improved. This change
seems worthwhile for the first paint time improvement alone. It also
allows us to delete some code and remove a dependency.
The old `css.js` module included two third-party CSS files as well, so
those have been imported into the main Sass file. This was easier than
bundling them in the gulpfile.
The resulting CSS bundle needs to be served from the root because we're
using a few `@include` rules that make this assumption. We could move
this under `/css/` if desired, but we'd need to update each of these
`@include` rules.
