 While uBO does not support some specific cases, it further extends the EasyList filter syntax, which also may share with AG's extended syntax. [Here](./Syntax-quirks) are the most surprising cases documented.
 
-Starting with [1.46.1b15](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/commit/81498474d6d440b032681aa9952d593749b39efb), you can use regex-based values as target domain for static extended filters. Example of usage: `/img[a-z]{3,5}\.buzz/##+js(nowoif)`. Use sparingly, when no other solution is practical from a maintenance point of view -- keeping in mind that uBO has to iterate through all the regex-based values, unlike plain hostname or entity-based values which are mere lookups.

+   - `/^www\.example\.org$/##h1` - matches only `www.example.org` without subdomains and without `example.org`

+- `/^example\.org$/,somesite.org##h1` - can also be combined with normal names
