Are Global Extensions Nuked for Some Sites in Edge?

Sometimes, I run into a site that won't load while a pop-up blocker is running (we've all been there). In Edge, when I click the extensions buttons in the toolbar, I saw a global Allow extensions on X" setting. Here is what I mean, using this site as an example:

I toggled that off, instead of going into individual extensions themselves. I figured why not? It was conveniently located right at the top and assumed it was easily reversable when I was done. Like any other site permission that is tracked (and can be cleared).

I asked ChatGPT to tell me where this global setting was stored for any sites I'd done this for (so I could clear them and ensure that was a one-off change).

But it actually told me that there were NO settings/list stored for this, and there is no way to see what sites I had globally disabled this on. And that I'd have to revisit each site and turn it back on one at a time (which of course is impossible as I have no way of remembering that). And that those sites are just SOL using extensions from now on.

Tell me this can't be right? There MUST be someway to know what sites are not allowing extensions to run from this global toggle and clear it. ChatGPT can't be right on that...can it?

that way i can setup each extension for any site that requires anything to be set
such as disable adblock for eleven forum, safe cookies for certain sites etc.

not sure if that is what you are after
best of luck Steve ..

Thanks, but looking for the info in the first post about finding the sites that have been toggled by the global switch. Need to see where they are housed to clear those "off" settings
