I've seen a couple of feedbacks in the store of people who wish it was possible to whitelist a web site, i.e. to disable µBlock on a specific web site.

The feature is already available, it is the big power button: it serves to whitelist the current web site, its state will be remembered next time you visit the web site.

µBlock's popup

Detailed syntax

As of version 0.8.2.0, the whitelisting syntax is as follow:

Plain hostname

example.com: whitelist all pages from example.com or above (i.e. www.example.com).
www.example.org: whitelist all pages from www.example.org or above (i.e. forums.www.example.org).
org: whitelist all pages from TLD org (i.e. example.org).

Single web page

http://www.twitch.tv/letofski: whitelist only this one page, i.e. when the URL in the address bar matches exactly http://www.twitch.tv/letofski.

Section of a web site

http://www.twitch.tv/letofski*: whitelist this one page, and everything underneath, i.e. when the URL in the address bar starts exactly http://www.twitch.tv/letofski.
