How Does Allowed Paths Work?

When blocking a number of websites using a block list, you may still want to keep certain paths on those websites accessible. This setting allows you to do that.

These patterns are built using match patterns. If the selected website is example.com, here are some expected outcomes for allowed paths.

• /some/path
  

  This will allow all URLs that start with /some/path

  • example.com/some/path
  • example.com/some/path2
  • example.com/some/path/deep/segment
• /r/*/comments
  

  This pattern contains a wildcard. This will allow all URLs that are matched with /r/*/comments, where * represents any number of valid URL characters

  • example.com/r/first/comments
  • example.com/r/other/comments/some/path
  • example.com/r/long-name/comments
