Upgrade StorageZotero Connector proxy - explicit domain exclusion (or only subdomain)?
I really love the automatic proxy feature of the Zotero Connector (currently on Firefox 101.0.1). I have one issue with it though.
As an example, if I manually access an article at science.com through my university proxy (I have a keyword shortcut for that in Firefox), then Zotero adds science.com to the proxy domain list. That's very nice for when I want to read papers, but if for example I just want to read Derek Lowe's blog (In the Pipeline), which is also on the science.com domain, then Zotero also redirects me through the proxy. This is annoying because, if I haven't used the proxy in a little while, or if I've changed locations, then I have to do all the multi-factor login stuff that our uni proxy requires.
Simply removing the domain from the domain list is of course an alternative, but then when I later want to read an article, and I access it through our proxy, it gets added to the list again, and I'll have to remove it when I want to read a blog post. Thus I think it would be nice to be able to explicitly define domains for which I don't want automatic proxy redirection. This is also the case for some other sites where I want to be able to manually use the proxy, but I don't want it to be added to Zotero, though I'd still like to have the automatic adding of domains for most other sites.
An alternative that I haven't gotten to work would be to only add a certain "subdomain" to the list. E.g. papers from Science are located under science.com/doi/[DOI], while e.g. blogs are under science.com/content/[something], so if I could add only the first one to the list, that would be useful.
So I guess my question is; is it possible to specifically blacklist a domain? Or is it possible to add only certain "subdomains"? Or maybe there is some other solution I haven't thought of?
I realize that I probably should have just phrased this as a feature request for a domain blacklist, but I'm not sure if it already exists and I just can't find it.
I migrated from Mendeley to Zotero a few months ago, and I'm loving it so far, especially with the transparency in the development of new features and stuff.
Thanks in advance!

We would take a connector PR for this feature, or would consider it if there was more demand from other users.
