[fr] Add several exclusion patterns

[35609902357]

At the moment only one exclusion pattern can be provided, which is a problem when using wildcards.

For example if I want to redirect https://www.reddit.com/r/* to https://old.reddit.com/r/$1, but I don't want "all", "pics" and "videos" subreddits to be redirected, I can't do it, I can only input one url to exclude. Wildcards/regex don't help because these paterns aren't regular

It would be nice to have a "+" button to add another Exclude pattern field to input another url that can't be covered by wildcards/regex.

Or to have something like linebreaks:

https://www.reddit.com/r/all
https://www.reddit.com/r/pics
https://www.reddit.com/r/videos

or comma separated values , like:

https://www.reddit.com/r/all,https://www.reddit.com/r/pics, https://www.reddit.com/r/videos

Why not use a regex: https://www\.reddit\.com/r/(all|pics|videos) ?

I input that line as an exclusion pattern, but it doesn't work. Maybe because the redirect is using wildcard instead of regex?

[einaregilsson]

Yeah, you need to use regex patterns for this. Wildcard patterns are only to do the most simple stuff, anything more than that you need regex.

[35609902357]

That's why several exclusion patterns are useful, you can combine the simplicity of wildcards, but can exclude urls as needed. Instead of rewriting every filter as regex, which are more complicated.

[einaregilsson]

Sorry, I don't want to add more complexity to the UI. For more complex things you'll have to use regex.

How does having the possibility of adding urls separated by comma instead of only one url complicate UI?

https://www.reddit.com/r/all

vs

https://www.reddit.com/r/all,https://www.reddit.com/r/pics,https://www.reddit.com/r/videos

It's just more characters inside the same box

What if I need to add several sites to exceptions?

On a tangent, I'd like "multiple examples" (in the "test-driven development" sense)
