In this article you will learn:
What is the allow list (whitelist) and how to use it
How to add a site to Allow List
1Blocker provides a flexible way of disabling blocking rules for a particular site by managing custom exceptions. You can add any sites to the Allow List category so that no blocking rules are applied to them at all. Also, you can choose which blocking categories will be disabled for a specific site, partially allowing it.
Do you want to support your favorite website by allowing ads, but don't want to be tracked?
No problem, you can turn off only the "Block Ads" category.
Do you want to see the comments while staying protected from ads and trackers?
Great, 1Blocker can help you with that.
Possible reasons to allow a website:
you want to support the owners of the site
it is a site you trust, and the amount of disturbing content is not high
there are some side-effects possibly caused by 1Blocker
How to add a site to Allow List?
There are two ways of doing that: by using 1Blocker's extension in Safari or by creating a custom rule in the app.
Allowing sites via 1Blocker Safari extension
On iOS:
Open the site you want to configure in Safari
Open 1Blocker extension from the Safari Share icon
Tap "Allow Site"
Tap "Disable All Blocking on This Site" or choose the categories you want to disable
Tap "Save"
On macOS:
Open the site you want to configure in Safari
Open 1Blocker Actions extension
Tap "Allow Site"
Activate "Turn off Blocking on This Site"
Choose whether to disable all blocking rules or only some of them
Tap 1Blocker Actions extension once again to save the rule
Allowing sites via the 1Blocker app
On iOS:
Launch 1Blocker app
Go to Safari > Custom > Allow List
Tap the arrow in the upper-right corner and choose "New Rule"
Fill in the name (optional) and the domain without the "https://" part
Choose whether to include subdomains and enable particular categories if necessary
Tap "Save"
On macOS:
Launch 1Blocker app
Go to Custom > Allow List
Press the "New Rule" button in the lower-right corner
Fill in the name (optional) and the domain without the "https://" part
Choose whether to include subdomains and enable particular categories if necessary
Tap "Save"
A side note: the Allow List category was formerly known as the Whitelist category. The current choice of words might not sound familiar to some users, but we believe it's the right thing to use inclusive terminology.
