Prefixes Not Working as Anticipated #50

When I add a specific sub-site as an exception like +https://www.youtube.com/@minecraft, the main site added to the block list like https://www.youtube.com will override it. Same happens on amazon when adding my order history as an exception. I'm using Chrome Version 108.0.5359.99 (64-bit)

It also happens with keyword prefixes.

And here's the issue with Amazon too.

You shouldn't include the protocol (https) in the site list. You can also omit the www, since LeechBlock will match sites with or without it. So, for example, your first list should be:

+youtube.com/@minecraft youtube.com

Oh, thanks! Sorry to bother you. Also just to be aware, is there a way to make an exception for videos from specific YouTube Channels? I'm aware the channel name is not anywhere on a video link, but I just want to be sure.

Yes, the channel name doesn't appear in the URL, but some users have blocked videos in specific channels by using keyword blocking.
