It only confirms that the 'site' value in ExExceptions is not valid in Gecko versions we tested.
In the contrary, it confirms that this tiny editor addon behaves perfectly valid.
Because all it does is edit Mozillas
native file permissions.sqlite, in
exactly the way Mozilla has it defined. No more, no less: just adding domains to a list.
The content blocking itself is up to the engine only. If that behaves intentionally upside-down, due to decisions of the Mozilla/Firefox devs, it's not the fault of a file editor what the engine does with its own native domain list. It's the responsibility of Mozilla chiefs who
want this behavior (user-friendly as they are, as always, haha.)
So, if anything, one could say that the Gecko engine isn't handling content blocking in a valid way. Which of course is a matter of opinions - in user view sure completely un-intuitive to put it mildly.
The only tiny thing that ExExceptions-addon could improve is the description text in the editor, to make users more aware of this upside-down policy of the engine devs.

People prefer tools that show what was blocked.
Of course. But blame the culprits who want it otherwise, not innocents.
