That's an excellent description
. Guardian and I have a side project to combine the two, using an RP-style interface to write ABE rules, but haven't had time to work on it lately.
Using RP is an excellent way to control permissions on a site-specific basis - eg allowing Google Analytics in NoScript, but only allowing selected sites to use it - but it adds a whole new level of 'sites will break by default', so it's only for those who really want full control.
If I understand well, cross site requests must pass now approvals of both extensions.
You're close: cross-site requests
for active content (eg JavaScript, Java, Flash) must now pass both extensions.
NoScript doesn't care about static requests like images and stylesheets. But most cross-site requests these days do include scripts, so usually every site will appear in both lists.
But interesting thing is, that RP is reporting in context menu1 conflicting extension - Brief.
On other context menu line it say that requests from chrome:// cannot be blocked. Is it an issue ?
I haven't tried the two extensions together; if you want to do so and report the results to the RequestPolicy author, then please do.
I think that ABE can block requests from chrome://, but RP can't. That's probably by design, though, because a default-deny policy for chrome:// requests would be a Bad Thing.
