How do I set a time limit for a news homepage but not its articles?

[OutshineIssue]

I want to give myself 2 minutes to look for articles to read, but have no limit on the articles themselves.

I tried making a rule for +www.newsite.com as the addon says that "+" is a prefix to exclude subpages but that's all the documentation I found. I'm on the site and after 2 minutes it's not kicking me or giving me any type of feedback about the rule. Any help?

@OutshineIssue hi, sorry for replying you late.

take this repository as an example. I set up these three site patterns:

1. github.com means that all the pages of GitHub will be blocked
2. +github.com/sheepzh/time-tracker-4-browser means that the repository's homepage, an exact URL will not be blocked
3. +github.com/sheepzh/time-tracker-4-browser/** means that all the sub pages of this repository will not be blocked.

this way, I can only access all the pages of this repository, while other pages on GitHub are inaccessible.

in your case, you can try to set these two patterns:

1. www.newsite.com to block all the pages on NewSite
2. +www.newsite.com/article/** to allow all the articles

Thanks! That was very helpful and now it works as expected. I actually made a feature request to improve this, I would really appreciate if you also take a look at it: #741
