            Bug ID: 492821
           Summary: Feature Request: Tell Falkon within its GUI which
                    domains it should block
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Falkon
           Version: 24.08.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: All
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

In Firefox and at least the Firefox-fork LibreWolf you can specify which
domains should be blocked by FF/LW. 

To achieve this, one needs to specify every single domain in the file
policies.json using the following syntax (here some examples):

"WebsiteFilter": {
"Block": [
"*://*google.*/*", "*://*.twitter.com/*", "*://*.facebook.com/*",
"*://*.gmail.com/*", "*://*.microsoft.com/*", "*://*.x.com/*",
"*://*.office.com/*", "*://*.linkedin.com/*",  "*://*.cloudfare.com/*",
"*://*.telegram.org/*", "*://*.apple.com/*", "*://*.tiktok.com/*",
"*://*.*.cn/*", "*://*.*.kp/*"
],

If you make at least one single syntax error when defining here domain names in
this array, then the respective domains do not get blocked by FF/LW. 

Here you can find the documentation about this kind of configuration (in
section "WebsiteFilter"):

https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/

How about giving users the chance to quite easily enter the names of domains
they want to get blocked by Falkon within the Falkon GUI ?
