crashes way too often + can you guys add like specific url like i want to access my "instagram.com/direct/x" without being able to access all of Instagram web page like reels or feed or explore or stories , etc hope you guys make a desktop app that also access apps on laptops and pc's and i am an old user of appblock ive used it for more than a year on my iPhone and wish you the best upgrade

The option to scan for web content is very good (mobile version doesnt have it) BUT unfortunately the block is very useless if i can just uninstall the extension or disable it.. Need a way to prevent uninstalling in forced mode
