      On some web pages if I turn off blocking adds and tracking, the Privacy icon disappears, and the only way I can get this back is to go into settings and enable it again. Is there a shorted way to do this without going into Settings?? For instance, on This site I have tracking anf blocing ads disabled, yet the Privacy icon remains in the address bar, why is that??

        @bbildman Click on the lock or globe icon in front of the address to access all site specific settings.

          @sgunhouse Wow, another little "secret" access point, that's really nice, it's perfect.

          Thanks!

          (But I'm curious, why does this happen (Privacy Protection icon disappearing??)

              @leocg Heh! Yesterday, this happened on 2 sites, and has happened before. But today when I go back to those pages the PP icon remains even when both tracking and ad blocking are disabled. Weird. I'll try to find the others where that happened.
