[Question] Exceptions to filter in a list

[my-password-is-password]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Remove/Comment out behind-the-scene from "Whitelist"
2. Have "Anti-Adblock Killer | Reek‎" filter selected
3. Try to update

Symptoms

The list blocks itself from downloading with this filter: /anti-adblock$~stylesheet . When I tried to make an exception that looked like it would work, it didn't.

These didn't work:

@@/anti-adblock$important,xmlhttprequest,domain=githubusercontent.com
@@/anti-adblock$xmlhttprequest,domain=githubusercontent.com
@@/anti-adblock$important,domain=githubusercontent.com
@@/anti-adblock$domain=githubusercontent.com
@@/anti-adblock$important

Are those not valid exceptions? Am I not understanding something?

These worked:

@@/anti-adblock$~stylesheet
@@||.githubusercontent.com/reek/anti-adblock$xmlhttprequest

Are those not valid exceptions?

Yes. But they apply only when the document firing these network requests is githubusercontent.com. behind-the-scene is not githubusercontent.com.

The important filter option is meaningless for exception filters, because exception filters always override block filters.

Working as expected as far as your report shows.

Oh, can I use domain=behind-the-scene then?

[gorhill]

I am guessing yes, but I never tried really.

Cool, it worked. Thanks and sorry for bothering.
