      Hi Jon,

      I just tested Pluckeye, but I encountered a problem!

      Pluckeye version: X.Y.Z

      Operating System: Linux or Macosx or Windows XP or Vista or 7 or 8 or 8.1 or 10

      Here is the problem I encountered:

    • example

      Hi Jon,

      I just tested Pluckeye, but I encountered a problem!

      Pluckeye version: 0.28.2

      Operating System: Windows 7

      During testing I encountered the following problem, which I will describe using the 3 steps you mention on i-found-a-bug.html.

      1. I installed Pluckeye, which installed without errors or warnings. I then restarted Firefox, visited http://www.google.com/, and on that page typed "dogs" into Google's search bar.
      2. I expected that I would not see any images of dogs because I had not specified a whitelisting rule for google.com.
      3. However, contrary to my expectations, I could see images of dogs at the top of the search results.

      Faithfully yours, Jon
