Option to add new whitelist rule from block screen

Open svandragt opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

Great addon that I use to focus on work.

Within that context, I have found it harder than it could be to get a whitelist cobbled together. This might not fit other use cases but for me it would make things easier if it was possible to add a new rule from the block screen based on some variation of the current site.

Thanks for your consideration.

Thanks!

Yeah, I agree with you. However, your use case clashes with another popular one, which is to prevent children from viewing nasty stuff on the internet. If I put an "add to whitelist" button on the warning page, it'll be easier for you to add that page to your list, but it will also be easier for children to add it to theirs.

I would have to implement some kind of password protection scheme so that only users that know the password can add stuff to the whitelist, but right now I don't have that much free time...

Can you think of alternatives?

What about a "hide toolbar icon" option for parents. Then any otions in the toolbar icon menu can't be used if the icon itself is not visible.

That'd be great 👍
