exactly! You wouldn't even need an extension.

Just tell your users, if a site isn't loading properly, to go to http://my-pi-hole.local.lan/whitelist and unblock it.

It would be ideal if the workflow could be something more like "click this link" (and pi-hole's GUI would then give you a prominent button to redirect you to an unfiltered version of the last request from your device (or maybe a list, since who knows how many background ones are being silently killed), which would be whitelisted for an hour.

You can do this already. The URL is http://pi.hole

Whether you want them to have access depends on your “users”.

A 1-click option (or maybe 2) is a much better solution for tech-averse users :). And extensions already exist to enable/disable Pi-Hole, the functionality could be expanded to include quick whitelisting.
