Click-to-activate placeholders for blocked but potentially useful social buttons/widgets
Users keep misunderstanding what adding a widget to Widget Exceptions does. It does not mean that widget will always be allowed to load everywhere. It means that widget will still be blocked, but no longer replaced. It's like a selective way of unchecking "Enable widget replacement".
Beyond this confusion, some users want a way to always allow a widget everywhere, and we don't have an intuitive way of doing this.
Is there a reason for someone to turn off widget replacement either globally or selectively? Where PB keeps blocking but no longer replaces with a placeholder? If this functionality can be removed, we could then resolve the above confusion and allow users to globally allow particular widgets by re-purposing Widget Exceptions. Basically, make Widget Exceptions work the way people tend to think it does. First implementation thoughts:
After this, issues like #2539 that can now be worked around by disabling replacement for a particular widget could be worked around by always allowing the widget instead.
