Let users block "domain.com/subpage/" while keeping the respective main-domain unblocked

[fritzfribo]

Personal Example: As a user, who needs to use YouTube for work, however wants to stay away from the highly addictive YouTube-Shorts-Feature very badly, I would like to block all requests sent/received to 'youtube.com/shorts/*', while keeping all other web-content on youtube.com usable.

When I try to add the URL-space to the blocklist, SelfControl automatically cuts off parts of the URL, so that only the main-domain remains.

Okay, it seems that this issue is a duplicate and will not be adressable soon :/

Referring to: #159

While I understand you are looking for a SelfControl fix, I have a solution for your specific issue. The Unhook extension.

Disable Shorts from the dropdown menu and hide the Unhook extension from your taskbar (out of sight, out of mind). You will completely forget that YouTube Shorts were so addictive in the first place.

Big-time recommend.
