Ad blocking regex question
 

Why, in some cases does this work:

offendingsite\.com

But in other cases, you need:

.*offendingsite\.com/.*

Theoretically, both should work. They differ only in the point that the latter requires a slash at the end of the server name to be present, else it won't match.

Do you have reproducable examples?

[url]www.tvsquad.com[/url], the video player in the right column. It only blocks for me if I do .*yourminis\.com/.*

Hm, I just tested—if I add yourminis\.com to the list of blocked URLs, the player is blocked for me ... ?

Best regards,

Yes, you're right. I have found it is often necessary to clear the cache to see some filters take effect, especially Flash.
