List whitelisted sites and manually set modes for specific sites with wildcards and/or regex #29

I use the keyboard shortcut to set sites to dormant whenever I need to. But it doesn't actually show all the whitelisted sites anywhere.

It would be more convenient if there is a text field with a list of sites or comma separated sites. Maybe 3 fields, each for a mode.

Wildcards and regex would just be a nice bonus so it would be possible to do *.example.com rather than abc.example.com, xyz.example.com etc.

I have plans to extend options page and make all your sites available and changeable among with other useful options

I'm curious about this issue also. Seems we can export/import our configs, which is very handy. Would it be possible to use wildcards for subdomains like so: {"*.amazon.com":"whitelist"}?

Also, what's the meaning of website1: ..., website2:... in the config file? A little confused on how that's organized.

Nice plugin btw. Thank you for it.

It will be with the next updates.

Just some developer's thing. Every field (like website1 for example) have size limitations, so by using 3 fields you get x3 size of storage. At least it was when I was building it initially - it definitely needs some refactoring

Nice plugin btw. Thank you for it.

Thank you for warm words and welcome!

Hi, looking for this feature myself, would you like any help with making this feature, if so reach out and ill gladly have a go at tackling this

RomanistHere commented 1 year ago

@melosh101 well, making MVP of this feature is a fairly nice task as I see it. There are two steps:

adding a text area where all the regex urls are gonna be listed + possibility to edit them
after page loading and syncing with storage and checking if current website has no active mode, checking new additional regexWebsites property in storage, and if url fits, enabling appropriate mode

however there are a few points to thing/investigate:

which variations should be available? *.amazon.com isn't very helpful, for example - what you most likely want is amazon.* but it might lead to some websites being blocked that user didn't intend to
there should be a visually appealing way in the extension's popup to tell users that this website is part of their "filter" in settings and can be changed from there
single website mode should always overrule regex mode if they conflict
