      There are some sites for which the www subdomain is not merely an alias for the base domain, and where you may wish to whitelist the www subdomain without whitelisting all subdomains.

      My specific use-case involves Tumblr: I had whitelisted uBlock Origin on www.tumblr.com (where the user's posting interface lives, but where no public Tumblr page lives, all of them being on separate subdomains of tumblr.com), because it was running slowly and I wanted to keep as many extensions as possible from running there while I was trying to edit a post. I do not, however, want to whitelist my ad-blocker on every single Tumblr page, which is what whitelisting tumblr.com (without the www) would do; when I enter www.tumblr.com in the exceptions list, it is transformed to tumblr.com, and it should not be.

      I actually post to Tumblr very rarely, so I decided, instead, to just not whitelist Tumblr at all.

        When you know that some sites have www1,www2, .... then you can consider it similar to subdomains or different domains.
        For example http://www.idealzanussiservice.com Ideal Zanussi Maintenance in Alexandria is similar to http://idealzanussiservice.com Zanussi Maintenance in Alexandria but both fitched from different servers.
        So i agree completely with you. 🙂
