How to maintain Chrome "enable request blocking" after closing dev tools?

I am talking about the feature in Chrome, opening the 3-dot-menu at the top right of the dev tools > More tools > Request blocking

This feature is amazing, and it remembers the domains/urls to block, however every time you close the dev tools it un-checks the box "Enable request blocking".

I want to block some stuff all the time, regardless of whether the dev tools are open... Is there a way to keep this from un-checking itself? It is possible to keep it open in the background, but it doesn't even transfer to a new tab if the current tab opens a new one. Perhaps there are some new flags that can be set in newer versions (now we are on Chrome 79, and this question was originally asked with Chrome 63).

Opened up a chrome ticket to add this. If you think this would be a useful feature, then voting there will help get it on the radar. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1269320

Unfortunately not the solution. However my workaround for that is to have the dev-tools as a separated window either minimised or just in the background if i don't need or want them.
