Relax uBlock Origin blocking mode with a shortcut
I browse the web with uBlock Origin set to nightmare mode as I generally don’t want to load scripts or images. Of course, many websites are not built with this in mind, and so they don’t work well. When it’s something I want to see, I manually unblock categories of resources until the page is rendered adequately.
Well, it turns out that
- uBlock Origin has a Relax Blocking Mode command that progressively overrides your global blocking mode in a sensible order,
- and you can set a keyboard shortcut to trigger this command.
The extension icon even changes color in your toolbar to indicate the current status.
