Shields settings for Sites Domains Matching Wildcards

Brave Feature Requests

I’m using GitHub Codespaces. Shields now will cause GitHub Codespaces’s terminal and Markdown preview to malfunction, so I normally have to disable Brave Shields for it.

Since GitHub Codespaces is generating a unique subdomain for every one of my repos, everytime I work on a new project, I have to disable Brave Shields for that subdomain again and it’s becoming annoying. And the site list is getting bigger and bigger.

I’m hoping Brave Shields settings could be somehow set for a group of domains that match a certain pattern, like wildcards. That would be awesome.

Thank you!

@Derzart,

There’s info here on how to manually do it through a JSON file: Shield Settings Based on Root Domain - #2 by Vilhjalmr

But, I found you can actually put the same wildcard value in through settings and it also works. It’s under Settings → Privacy and Security → Shields Status. It’s a strange syntax…when I saw the placeholder value of [*.]example.com when entering a new exception I thought it expected *.example.com and that the *. was optional. That’s normally how I’d interpret that. But, they literally want [*.]example.com. /shrug
