What to do when Escape blocks a website you need
A blocker's whole job is to say no, and once in a while it says no to something you actually needed. If Escape is blocking a site you need, here is how to sort it out, starting with whether it is even Escape doing it.
First, check it is actually Escape
Other things block sites too. Screen Time, a DNS filter, a school or work network. There is a quick test. Turn Escape's extension off in Settings, then Safari, then Extensions, and try the site again. If it is still blocked, Escape is not the cause, and you are looking at Screen Time or a network filter instead. The blocker-not-working guide helps you track down which one.
If you blocked it yourself
The most common reason a normal site is blocked is the simplest one. You added it as a custom block and forgot. Open your block list in Escape and remove it, and it will load again. The built-in adult-site list is separate from your own list and is not something you edit site by site.
If a legitimate site is wrongly on the list
The adult-site list is curated, so a genuinely legitimate site getting caught is uncommon. When it does happen, it is worth a quick note. Email [email protected] with the address and it can be checked and corrected. Here is the part worth knowing. Because Escape has no account and cannot see your browsing, it has no way of knowing a site is misfiring unless someone tells it. So reporting it is not just for you, it fixes it for everyone, and it is the one time your input actually helps the list get better.
