in reference to #170,
I don't think it should be that users open issues asking such things - It should be intuitive out of the box.
Maybe mentioning this in the popup text or somewhere on the whitelist page, or even add a button on the popup to enable the whitelist rule should help avoid such things in the future..

I pondered an idea earlier this week, but although it looks nice to me, I second guess whether less technical users (let's assume a majority of the users) would make sense of it.

Simply said, that would be a target-like button, with three rings:

  • Clicking the outer ring would causes the whole button (all rings) to become grayed = disable uBlock for the site (like now)
  • Clicking the middle ring would cause it and the ring inside it to become grayed = disable uBlock for page starting with the current URL (useful to whitelist a "channel" on a site)
  • Clicking the center ring would cause it to become grayed = disable uBlock for this page only

A tooltip when hovering on a specific ring would inform as to what it does.

Just an idea.

@Baegus

Why not just display the URL with different parts of it highlightable? Maybe with some tooltips under it for more information.

@gorhill

URL is too technical for non-technical users.

@gorhill

Ok I tried the target idea, and it doesn't work. I will go with a newly designed CSS-based tooltip, this works better.

@RapsIn4

This does not work for Mac since Ctrl+Click behaves the same as Right Click.

@chrisaljoudi

@Rapsln4 ⌘ click should work.

@RapsIn4

@chrisaljoudi Thanks! I think you guys should update the hover text though!
