In the instructions it says: "Use regular expressions to block URLs (e.g. http[s]?:\/\/.*?\.someevildomain\.com.*)" So I tried this: http[s]?:\/\/.*?\.weather\.com.* Weather.com and all subpages loads perfectly, not blocked at all. Am I missing something here?

Does not work as advertised. I wanted to just block website.com$ so that default navigation to that site was blocked, but any specific URLs would go through. This doesn't work. Uninstalling.

Used to work but now does not. I put in a URL like https://nordvpn.com and test it on the testbed below, and it always says "not blocked." It used to block nicely.

Doesn't work for about:blank

This does indeed block, but not on the first load, which is what I want (it blocks network requests in the background) and should be explicitly noted in the extension's description. Also the UI is pretty unintuitive. Kudos to the dev who made this. I'm sure once you figure out the UI and regex testing, and if you need to block background requests, this definitely does the job.

lol. Doesn't work for subdomains. Weird URL I'm blocking is: https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/
