Some Regex Rules Would Block Non-Google Sites

Open bnkas opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Hi there,

I was reading through your regex filters and two rules jumped out that will block popular non-Google sites.

((.).)?abc.(.) This would block popular TV channel in the US that Disney owns: abc.com. I know Google owns tens of domains with abc in the domain name, but I wanted to point out abc.com as unintended consequence.

((.).)?android.(.) This would block popular domains that have the word android in them, for example: www.androidauthority.com that I can easily think of.

Hopefully you find this helpful if these aren't known previously.

Thanks

That's indeed problematic. I’ll remove those from the listed regex filters until an equivalent regex filter is created.
