Suggestion: Block black/whitelisted sites - Jeroen - 07-04-2020
Right now, the software prioritizes the whitelist over the blacklist. Pretty logical, otherwise a whitelist would be useless.
Whenever I use the whitelist, it's mostly to unblock a certain subpage of a blocked website. Though, to whitelist a site, it's nice to have a less strict protection then fully stopping the plan.
The issue with this is, you can whitelist the entire site you just blocked. If I wanted to whitelist a certain Youtube channel, or specific part of a news site, it's just as easy to just whitelist the whole site.
My suggestion: Make it so that the whitelist doesn't overrule the blacklist if a page from the blacklist is whitelisted.
If reddit.com is on the blacklist, make it so that reddit.com, www. reddit.com, https://reddit.com and https://wwww.reddit.com can't be whitelisted, or can't overrule the blacklist.
I don't know whether it's possible to easily implement this, but it would be pretty useful to me.

I also often encountered the leaflet problem, but on this forum I found a lot of useful information that makes my work easier!

I may be misinterpreting because I'm not a very experienced user, but I use a weekly plan with a few daily tweaks that block everything to make me get out of bed and get things done.
