Please add wBlock extension icon in Web apps.

This won't be possible, as wblock Advanced (the one with the icon in the toolbar) is an App Extension, which isn't supported in Safari PWAs for whatever reason. So I either have to switch to a Web Extension (which would require me to get rid of the element zapper) or create an additional web extension that is functional inside PWAs. What do you think?

Oh, I didn't know that there were different types of extensions. While it would be nice to have it work in my YouTube app, do what you think is best.

I agree with you that it would be best to have it work in PWA apps, but the migration would be immense. If I have a large chunk of time I might pursue it, but it will be exceptionally tricky to make things like the element zapper and block counter work.
