Dear Galeon developers,

thank you for making a non-shitty modern browser.  Much appreciated.


Here are some random feature requests.  I'm using version 2.0.0 from
Debian unstable.  May I submit them to Bugzilla?


- Tab-sticky user stylesheets 

  I have a personal eye-friendly stylesheet (white on dark blue) that I
  use when I'm reading huge amounts of text.  Galeon's current behaviour
  is to reset the user stylesheet at every page change (unless I'm
  missing something) and it's quite unpractical.  On the other hand this
  is not something so generic to warrant inclusion in userContent.css

  The best behaviour would be to make the selected user css stick to the
  current tab and to every other tab/window spawned from it, until the
  user explicitly selects another style.  That and a place somewhere in
  the preferences to choose a default user css (if any) for new tabs.

  
- Hierarchical cookie permissions menu

  In Web, Cookies, instead of the current actions:
  
	Block Cookies From galeon.sourceforge.net
	Allow Cookies From galeon.sourceforge.net

  I'd like to see a list of choices, down to the 2nd level domain:

	Block Cookies From galeon.sourceforge.net
	Allow Cookies From galeon.sourceforge.net
	Block Cookies From sourceforge.net
	Allow Cookies From sourceforge.net

  That would make it way more practical to block all cookies by default
  and just allow them for the handful of bookmarked sites that need them.
  
  Block Images, Allow Popups and the like could use the same fixing.
  

- On a slightly related note, the current Preferences, Privacy, Manage
  Cookies screen doesn't allow one to enter new restrictions or
  permissions by hand, or to fine-tune existing ones.  It only allows
  one to remove existing items.  I think it could be improved.


- Closing Galeon's main (or last) window through the window manager
  should save the session, if the relevant preference is set.

  Currently it doesn't happen.  That is, Ctrl+Q saves the session and
  closes Galeon, while clicking on the [X] button quits without saving.
  Is this a feature?  It's quite counter-intuitive to me.


Toby
