FR: Hash behaviour toggle on a per-site basis #31

Open Argonius-Angelus opened 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have been encountering some personal issues when it comes to how this plugin handles hashes globally. For some sites (eg. Mythweavers and certain wikis) the hash is important (for Mythweavers, the # denotes the sheet's ID, which is important when it comes to loading different sheets on the site, for certain wikis, the # denotes a heading within the page that is useful to load back to, there is also certain sites where they will use #page1 for search results) while for others, it's not so important (multiple sites where creating a popup window through a link just appends the site url with a #, where opening that same link in a new tab shows the duplicate page but without the popup).

Describe the solution you'd like I would like for the ability to toggle hash behaviour on a per-domain basis that would override the global option. This would be beneficial for sites where # characters actually work to differentiate one page from the next for that domain when the global behaviour is set to ignore the # character.

Describe alternatives you've considered My current solution is to set the plugin to ignore hosts where the hash character plays an important role in how page information is displayed, but that leaves the issue of there still being the possibility of duplicates within that domain when the URLs match exactly. I am also aware that I can toggle how the hash behaviour works globally to always take hash characters into account, but I have personally dealt with an equal number of sites where hashes are important compared to unimportant.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

I am completing the improvements in version 0.8.0 that I will soon make available. One of the intentions is to really control some things by domain.

I'll think about the best way to fit all needs (for example this https://github.com/brcontainer/prevent-duplicate-tabs/issues/26) without making the panel confusing.
