Shortcuts: why not ignore "http://www." ?

Post by Lucas Malor »

I noticed that in shortcuts will be considered also http://www. string. For example I have many filters like this:

Code: Select all

text=|http://www.statcounter.com/counter/$match-case
[...]
shortcut=http://w
I think Adblock Plus could ignore the string "http://"(ot https, ftp ecc.) and the string "www." (if follows it) for shortcuts.

I don't think there is a reason for it, it shouldn't have a real impact on the performance. But maybe starting looking for shortcuts in the center of the filter string will improve startup performance a little, shortcut will be found faster...
