Hello, great extension, I have found a bug, I added the complete domain for reddit and discord. but every time i enter again to one of this pages the grayscale is off. then I click in remove saved site + add site and the grayscales comes back until next time i open the page. pleeease solve this issue.

Nice work! I found a bug, pls fix it. In options page, when I add a domain that contains .com but doesn't end with .com, it won't let me do it. For example: 10jqka.com.cn it's a valid domain, but I can't add it to Saved Sites or Excluded Sites.
