What's wrong with you all? It works

It interferes with correct functioning of calendar.google.com: when editing events the browser navigates back one page in the browser history. It does not work for paths containing slashes, like www.google.com/maps.

I"ve used this for quite a while now, and it's now stopped working at all for me on Youtube.com It simply is not blocking anything, no matter what. I use Edge and I've never had a problem before.
