feature suggestions

I would very much like to be able to control javascript on a per-site
basis.  This would help keep pop-up windows from appearing (e.g. at
www.nytimes.com) while still letting me use other sites that require
javascript.

The "load images from current site only" feature is great; it gets a
lot of advertisements without having to explicitly block them.
However, it breaks a few sites (e.g. www.bn.com), so it would be nice
to be able to override this global setting with a per-site value.

In addition, the image blocking feature is working less often these
days, as more sites are using flash for advertisements.  It would be
nice if there were a global and per-site flash enable/disable.

In general, there is a lack of commonality in the functionality of
some of the Settings items.  Therefore, I suggest in implementing such
features, it would be nice if there were a single object used for
permissions for
  * cookies
  * images
  * flash
  * java
  * javascript
  * passwords
  * use own fonts
  * use own colors
  * allow popups (does this work?  I have to disable javascript to
    really disable popups)
and perhaps
  * proxy
This object would have
  * a global default (on or off, or multi-valued like images),
    used if there is no per-site value
  * a set of per-site overrides of the default
  * a way to add/remove/edit the per-site overrides
This would both unify the user-interface, as well as add significant,
useful functionality.

Thank you for your consideration.

-Earl
