Could a toggle switch be added to the brave shields menu (the one that appears when clicking the shields icon in the address bar) that toggles blocked elements on and off? I see there is an option to clear blocked element filters within this menu, but it would be handy to have an option that simply toggles the elements on and off without deleting the filters entirely, similar to the way the uBlock extension offers a toggle for their element picker filters. I often like to block sidebars on sites that show suggestions (for example: for more articles to read, or youtube’s suggested videos sidebar). But sometimes I want to see the suggestions. I’ve used uBlock’s toggle for this sort of thing previously.
I’m talking about a button to temporarily toggle the filtered elements on and off
