Request: exclude by domain feature would be nice to have

This is even better than what I was looking for, since I don't have to manually unload anything. Suggestion: Add exceptions by host, like do not park discord.com or web.telegram.com, etc. Sure I could just pin them, but then it would be a nice feature for those who heavily uses tab groups. For example, my tab group about communication has 5 different tabs, and I don't want any of them pinned.
