Yes, I like your example. I want conditional trust. I may be willing to let a top level trusted site abc.com use def.com to collect browsing stats, but not when some other trusted site is the top level. In both cases the top level is trusted. However, trust for def.com is conditional based on who is...

I'm browsing ibm.com. I've allowed ibm.com, but not cmcore.com. They seem to be using a third-party site, cmcore.com, but when I view the page source (Ctrl+U), I can't find a reference to cmcore.com.

I should have simply said that ...

I have known about NoScript for a quite a while, but only after I heard an endorsement on SecurityNow by Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte, did I decide to trust and install NoScript. It appears to be a great piece of software. Thank You. It is generally agreed that disabling unneeded software features r...
