[Request] Ctrl+Click => allow popup #119

An option to set a modifier to temporarily bypass / ignore popups would be great. When the modifier key is hold down, popups are allowed.

There are sometimes sites we know that certain links are opening in a new window. But we don't want to whitelist the site and we don't want to disable the extension because we have to enable the extension afterwards / when switching to a different site.

Instead, why don't you assign a keyboard shortcut to toggle the enabled and disabled states? This way, you can disable the extension with a keyboard combination (instead of the suggested Ctrl+Click) and enable it when the popup appears.

That would be two presses instead of just one. I mean there are many ways to workaround but the most efficient is key+click. Some people installing a gesture addon to close a tab, because it saves what? 50ms? For some people it matters and for other it don't. But its your extension so you have the final word on this.

Same here. I like when it block everything but sometimes I use Ctrl + click in order to open on a new tab but it blocks.

schomery commented 2 years ago

@ido1990, any example website with the issue? The Ctrl + Click is supposed to pass the blocker.

@schomery AliExpress for instance. I guess that's because every click on AliExpress opens a new tab but I want to override it by using Ctrl + Click.
