Add wildcards to whitelist

[35609902357]

For example, almost every .onion domain uses http, so adding *.onion to whitelist them all would be very useful.

You can already do that by specifying the onion "domain" at the preferences. Doing so will prevent any .onion domain from being redirected to https.

@Rob--W, am glad to find the solution for Tor-based resources right here in this issue, but think of others, who are not so equipped to get here for answer, that why *.onion was asked for in the first place, because wildcards are more or less known concept.

FYI, I noticed this (new, not yet landed) patch provides this functionality to mozilla's firefox: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/7b5f7ee72a6c 😃 Onion-host exception can get disabled with a pref too. HTH.

Thank you for this, but I still can not find the option. where can I add those domains?

this is also useful for detectportal.firefox.com which prevents getting the TLS certificate warning when connecting to free wifi.
thanks

Thank you for this, but I still can not find the option. where can I add those domains?

1. Visit about:addons
2. Scroll down to the extension.
3. Click on the triple-dot button in the upper-right corner of the add-on card and choose Preferences.
   Alternatively: Click on the add-on card (which expands the details) and click on the Preferences tab.
4. An input field becomes visible where you can enter the domains.
