What's even more annoying is that for something as simple as blocking an app/website like Discord, it takes multiple steps. Unlike Circle, I simply highlight or select Discord from the list and it's done. With SPC, I have to select at least seven different websites that are associated with Discord from the history: discord.gg, us-south9263.discord.media, gateway.discord.gg, media.discordapp.net, discordapp.net, images-ext-2.discordapp.net, and finally discord.com. That doesn't sound very "smart" to me, in my opinion.
