Blocking x.com also blocks worx.com #128

Open sirxyzzy opened 4 months ago

sirxyzzy commented 4 months ago

I want to block x.com, but when I do, worx.com is also blocked. worx.com is a legitimate business site, dealing in power tools. I do not want to block worx.com.

If I had to guess the code is doing a suffix match on the first part of the URL string, is there a way to influence this?

Maybe I could fix the problem, but felt it worth reporting first as I am not familiar with the technology stack involved. Is there a work round?

I have the same issue. This needs to be fixed. Blocking x.com also blocks dropbox.com. It should be a simple fix.
