Does it handle ancilliary domains correctly? For example if I allowlist youtube.com, but that also uses youtu.be or cdn.google.com, do resources from those domains get blocked until I specifically allow them?

Didn't get to this detail yet. What the app currently does is allow all resources but block the ones that come from any youtube domain (this will block youtube embeds). Currently this is enough for my kids.

Also I add some relaxing rules, eg: If you navigate to domain A and it redirects you to domain B, do not block B immediately, give it a couple of seconds. It may redirect you back to A and it just wanted to set a cookie on B.

I am adding some gift codes for those who want to check the app but not bother with trial/subscription:
