Hiding rules are unable to specify to only block on the core domain and none of the subdomains (e.g. `~*.example.org` doesn't work) · Issue #3291 · uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues · GitHub

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
• This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

• uBO is the only extension.
• uBO uses default lists and settings.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Essentially, a syntax like ~*.example.org is listed in uBO's resource viewer as being an incorrect syntax, although there are cases where such a syntax would've made sense to support. In particular, if I want to only cover a main domain and not any of its subdomains at all, I presumed example.org,~*.example.org##(...) would work, but at the time of writing it doesn't.

While not all sites out there would benefit from that syntax because they always prefix www. to their regular domain, there are a fair few major sites that don't prefix such. Major examples I know of at the time of writing are imgur.com and wolt.com

Screenshot of the resource viewer:

Unfortunately it'd be a bit self-incriminating for me to list an exact URL, but since I've got no other viable choice, testers can add https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/b862f695ce847da6faf1a2f69231b5edca9227e4/a.txt as a custom list, use the "Error: n" counter on top of the resource viewer to scroll down, and ignore virtually everything else about that list.

1. Add example.org,~*.example.org##.JohnMadden to "My Filters"
2. See that "My Filters" mark ~*.example.org in red with the hover note "Invalid filter: Bad domain name"

That a method would exist to only have a hiding rule apply to a core domain and none of its subdomains. My ideas are either:

1. example.org,~*.example.org##(...)
2. |example.org##(...)
