What about a simple Include/Exclude?!
from firefox-extension.
yes, include/exclude seems the simplest.

- Thanks for taking this seriously!
- From a user experience perspective, every single one of @murb's functional naming suggestions above is much clearer than green/red. Two more possible options (just in case they happen to resonate more): "match patterns" and "exclude patterns".
- The blog post claims that FoxyProxy does not use "whitelist", but that's not accurate; the phrase "Add whitelist pattern to match all URLs" appears in at least two places in the UI (the screenshot shown in the blog entry, and also when configuring a new proxy)
- Thanks for FoxyProxy in general, it's a fantastic add-on.

Happy Juneteenth. Please read response here.
TL;DR pull requests encouraged if you want this done faster. We will likely use green and red patterns to replace white and black in keeping with the colors analogy.

Thanks for your response, good blog post! While red and green seem fine to me, dropping color-coding altogether as it still adds another level of abstraction; you still have to explain it... "green patterns" are patterns that will be fed into the proxy, whereas "red patterns" will bypass the proxy... why not state "proxy patterns" and "bypass patterns" (or "exception patterns")?

Agree with @murb analysis above that reducing abstraction is clearer.
"proxy" / "bypass" (or perhaps "proxy" / "direct"? per proxy.pac usage) seem clearer than "red" / "green", considering the common "red means stop" understanding, rather than bypass/direct.
In a UI that presents regex functionality, I don't think we need to abstract around concepts like proxy/direct with colours :)
As above, thanks for FoxyProxy!

folks are ignoring that you can have more than one proxy so really all patterns are proxy patterns. I see why folks are bouncing off of red/green since stoplights don't filter, so it's an imperfect analogy. But it seems like a fine analogy to use.
though an actual filter analogy might be better, like catch patterns and release patterns (analogy to fishing) ?

Done for FoxyProxy v8.0 (once released).
