When I'm at work surrounded by customers, I want this on. When I'm on a break or at home I want it off.

It is a lot of clicks to go thru Settings to change it, especially since there is no way to get into Settings if you are currently browsing a community. In that case you need to leave the community entirely just to get back to somewhere with a Settings kog, toggle it, then re-search and re-open the community only to find you've lost your scrolling spot. So overall it's something like 20 taps just to unhide the hidden things.

**The request: **Make this toggle always visible to be toggled in 1 click (2 at most) from any screen containing content (put it by the home button, for example).

Bonus request: Add the ability to reset this toggle to ON after a certain time/event, so if I forget to turn it back on it will do so alone and I don't get fired when a spicy meme or random porn thing scrolls up thru my screen as a customer is looking over my shoulder.

Bonus bonus request: Include that bar at the bottom (that contains Home, Account, etc.) when browsing communities. Ideally it should always be accessible.

I think a lot of people just create a second account, and swapping accounts is only 2 clicks. Might be a solution for you?

Ya that's a good idea if I have to. A toggle at the bottom would be nicer tho. The problem with the second account of course is that my 200+ communities I've blocked will no longer be blocked and I'd have to start over, and then block each community on both accounts over time.
