From the remaining filters, any that don't have "/docs" as a prefix of the path are removed.From the remaining filters, any that have an exact port number that isn't "80" are removed.From the selected filters, any that don't have "http" in the scheme are removed.If a filter isn't found, then it tries again with "", "com", and finally "".

If there's no valid filter remaining, then the left-most subdomain is removed from host and the selection process starts over at step 1. At this step, the allow list filter takes precedence over the block list filter if both filters have the same path length and number of query tokens. The filter selected for a URL is the most specific match found after processing the following filter selection rules:įilters with the longest host match are selected first.įrom the selected filters, any filter with a non-matching scheme or port is discarded.įrom the remaining filters, the filter with the longest matching path is selected.įrom the remaining filters, the filter with the longest set of query tokens is selected. You can use a forward slash ("/") or a dot (".") as a suffix for the host.You can use a wildcard ("*") as the host and you can prefix it with a dot (".").For example, If you include a fragment identifier ("#"), it and everything that follows the identifier is ignored. If you include "user:pass", it will be ignored.The filter format resembles the URL format, except for the following differences: To indicate a prefix match, you can use an asterisk ("*") at the end of the query.Ĭomparing the filter format to the URL format Separate key-value tokens with an equal sign ("=").

It must be a valid host name and you can use a wildcard ("*"). The filter format is: fields in the filter format are: Field This article applies to Microsoft Edge version 77 or later.
