Initial Comment:
if using the rule:

{+block  +handle-as-image  +set-image-blocker{blank} }

i put the string:

/.*/(ads|banners?|rotatorios)/.*

i am filtering *only* directories that match.

if i would like to filter *only* domains -like
www.google.com-, which string should i put?

/.*(ads?(erver.*|lead|vertising)?|banners?|(fast)?click(xchange)?).*

or

/.*(ads?(erver.*|lead|vertising)?|banners?|(fast)?click(xchange)?).*/.*

are both the same? i dont understand the difference,
because if i put ".*", i suppose it includes anything,
so i dont have to refer to directories with ".*/.*".

and, what i should put if i like that a string concerns
both domains and directories?

thank you

PD: we start the regex with a slash "/" to indicate the
program that we will use a regex, isn't it?
