The request here is different, it's to downgrade current blocking mode as a whole.

Yes exactly, thank you. When uBlock Origin is in Medium or Hard mode, a lot of pages won't render properly.

It'll make for a smoother web experience if there's a keyboard shortcut that toggles the modes. Right now it's 3 steps: Open popup UI, enable local 3rd party frames & scripts, reload page.

A shortcut for the javascript master switch would be very useful.

I second this, ublock is unusable for this purpose without a quick shortcut. Before I was using noScript which had a shortcut, I am happy with how ublock functions but a shortcut is needed.
