Exact address blocking not working

[vaindil]

• Windows 8.1, x64
• Chrome stable, 43.0.2357.130 (32-bit)
• uBlock version: 0.9.9.2

I'm using the rules at the bottom of this issue to attempt to block a specific address (my reddit user page, as an example), but the page is not being blocked. I do not see anything on the relevant wiki page that would preclude the ABP rule from working, so I'm not sure what's wrong.

Rules I'm using (in the My Filters section):

|reddit.com/u/icefall5|
|www.reddit.com/u/icefall5|
|reddit.com/user/icefall5|

but the page is not being blocked

Whole pages are blocked if and only if the filter matches only the hostname part of the URL (reference: uBlock-LLC/uBlock#1128). So strict blocking applies to whole sites, not specific pages on a site. This is because ABP-compatilble filter lists were not created with the blocking of whole pages in mind, and allowing strict blocking to block for any kind of filters causes way too many false positives. So the compromise is to block whole sites, such as all those from malware lists.

Closing as "by design".

Fixed with fa4e3ca.

Proper syntax for current case:

||reddit.com/user/icefall5|$document

Actually, duplicate of #192.

So, this is part of strict blocking functionality? And now we will allow to block specific pages instead of just domains. This is really great news and nice addition!
If so, i think this might deserve to have an update in Release Notes and in Wiki section..
Another feature ublock and ABP like are missing..

So, this is part of strict blocking functionality?

I figure this was needed if I wanted to warn about tucows.com/downloads, which is cited in a couple of places as being one of the worst when it comes to badware.

Does this change? https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Filter-syntax-extensions#not-supported

Are static lists now given the ability to make exceptions - and override our filters? like ABP?

[gorhill]

Does this change?

No, the document filter option is still ignored for exception filters.
