Advanced features filtering

If I may take the filtering further I'd like to outline an interesting
IMHO idea: to take all kinds of features of the browser (images,
animated images, popups, CSS fonts, CSS colors, cookies, Java,
JavaScript, Flash, proxy, various installed plugins, and so on) and to
be able to apply(allow or deny) them to URL's based on wildcard masks
(perhaps also by MIME type of the targeted resource/URL?). By wildcards
I mean"http://*.ads.dom/images/*". Something along the lines of the Ad
Block for Mozilla, but applied to much more than just images.

Behaviour description: I click through to a page that matches a certain
wildcard string; based on the associations of that string to certain
allow/deny flags, only certain features will be allowed to perform on
that page.

I can take this even further yet and imagine additional filtering based
on size of the targeted resource, associated HTTP headers (such as
expiration date), protocol (http, https) or characteristics particular
to that kind of feature (such as dimensions for an image, number of
loops for an animated GIF, the title of a popup window).

I would so marry the browser that would give me something like this. :D
