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.
