When blocking certain pages on websites like Reddit and Youtube, these pages can still be accessed when clicking a link on a page that is not blocked. I have also had this issue across domains, specifically with a Play Store link on a businesses website. This happens with both blacklisted URLs and non-whitelisted URL's in whitelist mode.

Your environment
Firefox 110.0.1 (64-bit) Extension version 2.8.0
Steps to reproduce
Add the following URL to the blacklist: https://www.youtube.com/@BBCNews Go to https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=bbc Click the first search result for the BBCNews Youtube page. You can now access the blocked page unrestricted, with the blocked URL displayed in the address bar.
Adding * before blocked URLs (when adding them without the https) as suggested in #23 does not solve the problem.
Expected behaviour
The page should be blocked, as it is when the URL is entered into the address bar directly.
Actual behaviour
The URL in the address bar changes to the blocked URL, but the page is not blocked.
