Regular Expressions Not Working #42

Expected Behavior

Something like .*pinterest.* should block any URL containing the string "pinterest" (this example is aggressively greedy for the sake of simplicity).

Actual Behavior

Doesn't ;)

Specifications

  • OS: MacOS
  • Browser: Firefox 76
  • Other extensions that might interfere: None that I know of

uBlacklist requires regular expression literals in JavaScript. /.*pinterest.*/ (surrounded by /) will work. (In this case, /pinterest/ is more efficient)

Yup, my bad. Adding the surrounding / works perfectly.
