Details

We currently only key rules by base domain. This has great performance but comes with limitations, e.g. doesn't allow for rules for specific subdomains.

Supporting URL patterns would give us much more flexibility in how rules are keyed.

Looking up patterns is rather slow. Especially for the cookie injector fast rule lookup is criticial since it will block HTTP connections. However the clicking feature powered by the CookieBanner JS window actors can run async after DOMContentLoaded and we could tolerate slower lookup.

We are no longer pursuing CBH.
