Rule Editor / Config Viewer extension page

[tsilvs]

Average users will not bother to work with json config files. Especially minified.

User story

As a user, I am looking for a simple & intuitively clear text input field called "Exceptions" where I can just put every domain I want to exclude from URL filtering or blocking.

As a user, I also want to see the current state of my configuration directly in a UI.

Implementation

• exceptions json string[] can be de-serialized to be written in a text edit field (e.g. form > fieldset > textarea#exceptions) as a plain text list, where every domain will be listed line by line. Simple, easy to understand, easy to use.
• textarea#exceptions value can be later written to string[] & serialized to json.

Examples

Look at uBlock Origin. It allows to edit rules directly in the browser. That would be a nice feature for ClearURLs as well.
