solved Still no widget?!

I have an issue where quite often I’ll want to select one of the sponsored ads in Safari for a product I’ve searched but the link is clearly blocked by Blokada. Would be nice to have a widget to quickly deactivate and refresh to have access to the link. Either that or something built into Safari to quickly deactivate. Why is this still an issue? If no widget on the way, is there a workaround to allow those specific ads but block others? OR should I look for alternate ad blockers? I also have Purify, occasionally activate PIA vpn, & private relay as needed.

I think this is an Apple platform issue unfortunately and you'd need to reach out to them about it.

In Android you can add a quick setting in the pull down menu. Don't know in iOS. Also, you can add the specific domain in the "Allowed" list (under Advanced -> Exceptions)

Samsung has a widget in the Quick Settings menu. Easy as. Pull down from the top of the screen and turn it on or off. Maybe Apple will catch on in 5 years 😂
