- is it possible to wildcard url?

Ublock Origin becomes #1 Firefox addon, beating Adblock Plus
But keep it mind that it has been discontinued quite some time ago, so keep an eye on the issue-tracker for vulnerabilities.

Test your Ad Blocking
Is it a good idea to be using uMatrix? I was under the impression that development on the project ended back in 2020, the code is archived and no longer actively maintained.
-
No, uMatrix is not completely dead, and gosh no, uBlock does not replace it and NoScript whatsoever
uMatrix gives you control over the requests that websites make to other websites. Many websites integrate features which let other websites track you, such as Facebook Like Buttons or Google Analytics. uMatrix allows 1st party scripts in its default configuration. If you want the default functionality of NoScript consider blocking 1st party scripts everywhere by default. This addon has been discontinued.

Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web Store
Raymond Hill has stopped developing uMatrix and also stopped accepting PRs because it's currently too much work for him [1]. So be aware that bugs will probably not be fixed.

Important Update: Changes to Blocklist Syntax Support
There are wrappers for updating regex lists that can be modified with other URLs. This was floating around for a while: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/install.py and this is another method: https://www.bentasker.co.uk/posts/documentation/general/refreshing-piholes-regex-block-list-from-external-sources.html With enough regex tweaking I bet you could shave at least tens of thousands of lines off your list, and it could be divided into regex entries for domains where it makes sense, with the rest being non-regex domain entries. Simple regex that is functionally equivalent to AdBlock style wildcard blocks won't notably bog down the system either. It might take a few hours to get a workflow going to streamline producing such a list, but it can be done.

Potential problem: Trouble with Pi-hole blocking ads etc
I also have a bunch of RegEx blacklisted from this pihole-regex/regex.list at master · mmotti/pihole-regex · GitHub and these:
-
Looking for a decent blocklist
Here's a list of domains I've used for years. All of which have been collected from different websites and sources such as https://firebog.net/ and https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex.
-
Chrome says that they're no longer allowing ad-blocker extensions to work starting in January
I also suggest these regex blocks
-
Any simple/conservative lists that just block ads, not trackers that might break mobile apps and web sites?
Your mileage may vary, but a combination of the default pi-hole list, the firebog.net lists (green, checkmark lists only), and the https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list do a pretty complete job for me.
-
Pi-hole not blocking a good amount of ads
While not perfect, and does not directly address the YouTube ads, I can suggest setting up mmotti's Regex Filters for Pi-hole.
- Corrupted pihole died and it used to block advertisements for other shows on HBO Max. New pihole installation does not. What list/regex entry blocks HBO Max ads?
- Ist there a way to block a URL other than the host file?
-
What regex entries do you use? The regex megathread is several years old at this point and I was unsure if there are any new ones to add.
I did also find these as well: https://github.com/mmotti/pihole-regex/blob/master/regex.list
