Thank you for the suggestion! At first I thought this would be a great feature to add as it would be easily accessible. But then I realized, that easily accessible aspect would also be the biggest drawback, as well spoil pages with just another context menu. I think pages should be blocked (and managed) in their isolated environment only (Options). I shouldn't access the page and then decide to block it, should be other way arround, block it, and then not be able to access it. User might want to consider block the domain only, or fully qualified URL, or just some subpath, and context menu might not be too smart about it, it can provide some options (as dropdown), but not all, it's easier to visit Options.

For more complex rules, they can visit options.

The right click context menu option should create the rule that the user most likely wanted.

It is easier than typing or copy/pasting urls.

should be other way arround, block it, and then not be able to access it

right, but this issue is about improving the UX of adding to the blocklist.

Maybe you're right though, maybe we don't need to see the menu option for all sites.

So an alternative would be this.

I'll be adding this feature. To satisfy both groups (those who would really like to see it, and those who would prefer not to), this option would be optional and there would be a new option for that:

Show as Context menu? [Yes/No]

I am going to revisit this functionality. Setting it milestone as version 5.0.

Hi @olfek

This functionality is ready to be tested and released soon. Here's how it works:

block_this_site

It would be beneficial to include a setting on the settings page where users can choose to display or hide the context menu option. This would effectively cater to both sides, ensuring a streamlined context menu without unnecessary clutter.
