#### Network filters
uBlock Origin can also parse HOSTS file-like resources. However, this creates an ambiguity with ABP filter syntax, which is pattern-based. For exemple, consider the following filter entry:
example.com
ABP filter syntax dictates that this is interpreted as "block network requests which URL contains `example.com` at any position". However if the entry comes from a HOSTS file, the interpretation must be "block network requests to the site `example.com`".
So in uBlock Origin, any entry which can be read as a valid hostname, will be assumed to be a HOSTS file entry. If ever you want such filter to be parsed as an ABP filter, just add a wildcard at the end:
example.com*
