I personally think it is only confusing if one doen't pay attention.
The new interface is a lot more consistent than it was before.
If you click on default, and set checkmarks, you have changed the default (which means it changes how ALL pages that have no specified rule)
If you click trusted, and set checkmarks, you have changed the setting for trusted domains (all trusted domains)
I could understand the confusion about why this wouldn't be domain specific if not for
If you click on
custom and set checkmarks, it creates a CUSTOM rule for that domain only.
If default and trusted also created custom rules, why would there be a custom button?
Not to mention the general weirdness of having a list of things that show "default" or "trusted" but all having individual settings.
And as for removing the ability to change the presets:
You have been here for a bit. You might have noticed that people have VERY different ideas of how they want things to be. Having them fixed would just mean one group is getting it the way they like, and about five would be annoyed.
Some of us have default empty (thus rendering the untrusted set moot). Some people really like the pre-installed settings. Some even have default "allow everything" and just untrust the pages they dislike (therefore rendering the trusted set moot)
Some prefer "trusted" to be still limited, and only give unlimited access to specific sites they push into custom.
I don't think removing that functionality for the benefit of users who don't read or think about what the UI tells them nor (in case of confusion) apply a bit of try and error is the right thing to do.
