BUG - Blocking and Override behave strangely when access Canva.com (can be used to access YouTube.com) #68

PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!!! THis is NOT just about CANVA.COM...it is also about YOUTUBE.COM!!!

as reported in this thread: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/leechblock/viewtopic.php?p=2558#p2558 (not sure if this is isolated to the Chrome version)

Blocking Canva.com seems to work, sort of... sometimes timer will run down and stay stuck at 00:00:01. Clearing browser cache seems to help sometimes.

VERY STRANGE!

This needs to be fixed because Canva gives access to ANYTHING on YouTube. So this is NOT JUST about blocking Canva, it is about preventing using Canva from being used to access YouTube.

So this is HUGE!

Mystery solved.... it turns out that the primary cause is the same as this issue: https://github.com/proginosko/LeechBlockNG-chrome/issues/6

If LB tries to block a tab after time runs out, and a dialogue box comes up (e.g do you want to save your edits), and you click Cancel, this stops LB from blocking the tab.

So this is just another scenario. But as you can see, if it is a site that acts as a tunnel to other sites, this is a major loophole in LB. So a solution to this is of significant importance. Hoping there is a solution possible. Thanks for your consideration and hard work.
