- What's the purpose of the combined mode?
- How to allow iframes/embeds like youtube embedded videos?
- How to prevent users from disabling the extension?
The combined mode saw the light as a fix to the issue #25, so as a short answer, when the combined mode is enabled the whitelist works as an exclusion list for the blacklist, but to make it more clear, let's take the following example:
- You have a blacklist with the following domain name pattern:
*.youtube.com. - But still you want to allow the
accounts.youtube.comdomain name.
Possible solutions:
- One of the possible solution could be to replace the
*.youtube.compattern withwww.youtube.comon your blacklist, but the pitfall of this solution is that domain names likem.youtube.comfor example won't be blocked unless manually added to the blacklist. - Here comes the combined mode to the rescue, by using it, you're telling the blocking process to block all links that matches with the
*.youtube.compattern in the blacklist, with a single or multiple exception(s) which are the links/patterns on the whitelist:accounts.youtube.com/*.
Go to the blocking settings & change the Frames type value from All frames to Main frames, otherwise you can refer to the solution proposed here.
Go to the password settings, enable password protection & set a password, then check the Block access to extensions page option & hit Save.
