it would be nice under the settings where you can manual add urls if one could use IP CIDR formatting. I find that due to having numerous IP cameras on my ip networks it would be easier if I could just add a IP block to the don't filter list. since the extension ends up breaking the video. an example would be adding 192.168.1.0/24 instead of having to manually add 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, etc

Thank you, I agree.
I interpret this issue to be about JSS Shield.
Decide if this is only about IP addresses embedded in the URLs or if we want to check IP addresses after DNS resolution. The later can be unimplementable due to several reasons like the need to have the configuration synchronously.
The later is more likely be easier to implement in Firefox and possibly be unimplementable in Chromium-based browsers due to the lack of DNS API support. However, DNS API is asynchronous and as such can be out of question for reliable modifications.
If DNS API needs to be used, multiple IP addresses can be returned, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/API/dns/resolve. Is a single match sufficient? Do all IP addresses belong to the same block? What should happen if different IP addresses fall to different blocks?
smells of a AI output... anyhow why is any API needed? you should just match the url of the page if its an ip or dns it still has to match whatever you have in your list all this report is asking for is the mach list to be able to use something akin to a regexp
