Regex generation code in Pattern.convertWildcard() (in version v8.3) does not emit beginning-of-a-line anchor "^" which make pattern matching on sites with long URLs too painful. Manually rewriting all wildcard patterns to regular expression helps, but that defeats the whole purpose of having wildcard patterns. Please add "^".

For example, *://*.example.com/ is currently converted to .*://(.*\.)?example\.com/. It would be nice to have something like ^[^:]+://(.*\.)?example\.com($|/) instead.
