Prerequisites

  • I verified that this is not a filter issue
  • This is not a support issue or a question
  • I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
    • Your issue may already be reported.
  • I tried to reproduce the issue when...
    • uBlock Origin is the only extension
    • uBlock Origin with default lists/settings
    • using a new, unmodified browser profile
  • I am running the latest version of uBlock Origin
  • I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior

Description

I use uBlock Origin in Hard Mode, meaning that with every new site I want to unbreak there is a cycle of:

  1. Click uBlock Origin’s icon.
  2. Disable/enable blocking in a cell.
  3. Reload.
  4. Repeat until done.

Since this is done one field at a time, it’s a bit cumbersome to repeat so many steps. Would be be possible to have just:

  1. Click uBlock Origin’s icon.
  2. Disable/enable blocking in a cell. The page auto-reloads and the uBlock Origin panel is kept open (or auto-reopens, if that’s unfeasible).

Even if only auto-reloading is possible without the panel reopening or not closing, it would already speed up my process. I’m fine with this behaviour not being the default, if it’s an option.
