Bring back the refresh / enable button?

Post by ZacharySilas »

At some point in the past, I used to be able to click the Adblock logo in the toolbar then click the slider that disables it on the site and the slider itself was the refresh button then. It got changed in an update to the refresh button being down below. It's minor, but it was so much nicer when it was just click-click to enable and refresh. I hope they would bring that back some day!https://showbox.bio/ https://tutuapp.uno/ https://vidmate.cool/

Maybe it helps if I provide some context on why that decision was made.

The main problem we found with the old approach was that it made it impossible to undo that action. So after clicking on the toggle you had to either refresh the page or close and open the icon popup again to be able to click on it again to undo it. It would've also made things more complicated going forward. Because you now have two toggles that you can interact with - one for the domain and one for the page. But also keep in mind that Adblock Plus is available in many different languages so the word "Refresh" can take up more or less space, depending on the language.

We're not insisting on keeping it the way it is though, so if there's a solution for the above problems that allows us to reintroduce the click-click behavior you described, we're certainly open to changing it again.
