Unblock something easily

[thany]

Prerequisites

• I verified that this is not a filter list issue. Report any issues with filter lists or broken website functionality in the uAssets issue tracker.
• This is NOT a YouTube, Facebook or Twitch report. These sites MUST be reported by clicking their respective links.
• This is not a support issue or a question. For support, questions, or help, visit /r/uBlockOrigin.
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension.
• uBO uses default lists and settings.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

There is currently no easy way to temporarily or permanently unblock something that is blocked, neither for a single site nor globally.

I shouldn't have to faff about with dynamic filters and whatnot, nobody will understand that, especially novice users.

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

http://localhost:2000/

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to any site that has something blocked
2. Now try to unlbock one thing. Good luck.

Expected behavior

1. Open the panel
2. Observe the list of blocked things
3. Click on a thing that is being blocked
4. Somehow have a way to unblock it, right then & there, easily, without complicated configuration faff.

Actual behavior

You'd have to dive into the configuration, add something to dynamic filters, with no hint on how to write a filter, save it, hope that it doesn't get removed on save (mine did, so that's not working at all, but nevermind) and then commit it once you're happy.

Good luck explaining that to my mother. Even I couldn't get it to work.

Documentation told me it should be first-part third-party * noop. But on save, it gets removed, without any hint on why. A simple "unblock this" function could do this for the user without the possibility of making a mistake.

This is for advanced users who understand the wiki. The documentation didn't say the exact words first-part or third-party there. You are misunderstand how dynamic rules work.
