Temporarily Disable Filter

📢 New Feature

Temporarily (next reload) disable the filter for a specific page.

🔬 Describe the solution you'd like

Add an entry to the context menu that will temporarily (next reload) disable the filter for the page.

📝 Additional context

Requested on the Chrome Web Store support page.

User: It is good to add "Unblock this domain for once" to right-click context menu. This option unblocks a website once and does not save any config data permanently. On the other hand, "Toogle filter for domain" may be unsafe and prone to human error if I forget to re-block a site after reading a webpage, there is a chance I will see swear words if I visit that site again in the future.

I whitelist only few essential websites permanently. For the rest of websites, I will unblock temporarily to read important info, especially when reading a technical page. "Unblock this domain for once" is a life-saver feature without the possibility of human error.

Richard: That does seem like a useful suggestion. How long would you expect it to be disabled? A time limit (an hour)? When the tab is closed? Any other thoughts?

User: Time limit is not something I am ready to use, it will make the feature more complex than necessary. It may make the extension less user-friendly since a user has to learn an extra thing (Time limit) when using this feature.

The feature works on only [the current tab requesting it], which reloads the tab without filtering. It is effective only once (1 time) and is used immediately, which means any future tabs get filtered as normal.
