Blocking the "www" website with any TLD will block almost every websites with that TLD

[agadiffe]

Hi.

If we block ||www.com^, it will block almost every .com websites (this bug applies with any TLD).

blocked: https://example.com https://github.com https://youtube.com https://google.com https://chatgpt.com https://copilot.microsoft.com ... etc (almost everything)

some very few websites seems to be immune (there are probably other exceptions): https://brave.com https://news.ycombinator.com

Didn't find a pattern about why these 2 above websites are not blocked.

The rule works as expected in uBlock Origin.

example of an affected adblock list: The "multi ultimate" list from @hagezi has ||www.be^ (malware website) in it, and therefore, every .be websites are blocked.

I didn't find any opened issue reporting this problem. Neither here or on brave/brave-browser.
