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 -- Ciprian Popovici ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
