| 2024-09-11 | randomfixer | | Too basic and the UX is terrible. But it does what it says. |
| 2024-08-16 | Anthony Martin | | Great add-on but if you could control things at a finer-grained level (i.e. form history vs all history) it would be perfect. |

| 2023-09-30 | DimitriPilot3 | | I'm using this to block the DeepL and Google Translate subdomains (which would generate URLs every time I changed my input) and it works just as I hoped. There is no regex support, and the Full URL matching mode is a bit problematic, as the URL has to be an exact match all the way down to GET parameters (?foo=1) and even the anchor (#foo) at the end. Also if you input a full URL without the protocol (e.g. https://), it may inadvertently omit the first character of the subdomain you typed. If this add-on had regex support or a whitelist containing full URLs that the blacklist shouldn't block, I would rate this 5 stars. As it stands, any subdomain I block doesn't get suggested or auto-completed in my address bar, which is a good thing for privacy but a bit unfortunate for my use case. |
