Add $url modifier

[slavaleleka]

it should be a modifier for matching page url, something like combined $domain and $path

[sxgunchenko]

Here's the proposed spec:

url

$url modifier limits the rule application area to URLs matching the specified mask.

Syntax

url = pattern

where pattern is pretty much the same as pattern of the basic rules assuming that some characters must be escaped.
The special characters and regular expressions are supported as well.

Examples

• [$url=||example.com/ads/*]##.textad — hides a div with a class textad at addresses like http://example.com/ads/banner.jpg and even http://subdomain.example.com/ads/otherbanner.jpg.
• [$url=||example.org^]###adblock — hides an element with attribute id equals adblock at example.org and its subdomains.
• [$url=/\[a-z\]+\\.example\\.com\\//]##.textad — this rule hides div elements of the class textad for all addresses matching the regular expression [a-z]+\.example\.com\/.

@AdguardTeam/filters-maintainers what do you think?

[zloyden]

It would be nice to use it.
I had also asked the same about blocking request rules, but as far as I've been explained, it can't be done.

[$url=||example.com/ads/*]##.textad

Can it be like this?

[$url=||example.*/ads/*]##.textad

[$url=||example.org^]###adblock

So, if I don't want to use the rule on subdomains, how to rewrite this? Something like that?

[$url=www.example.org^]###adblock

[sxgunchenko]

Can it be like this? [$url=||example.*/ads/*]##.textad

Yep

So, if I don't want to use the rule on subdomains, how to rewrite this?

May be something like this

[$url=*://example.org^]...

[zloyden]

May be something like this

[$url=*://example.org^]...

If there are no other options, then fine, but I'd rather use the same syntax as in the cosmetic rules.

www.example.org##body

You could use $domain + $path in that case
