Selectively apply restrictions to whitelist

Post by Jonas M. »

I really like the noscript's ability to enforce the additional restrictions (java, flash, iframe, etc.) to whitelisted sites because it accelerates my browsing experience and keeps unnecessary/irrelevant objects from being loaded (thus saving bandwidth and system resource). However, these restrictions are applied to all whitelisted sites without exceptions.

How is that an issue ? Well, I frequently use local html files for my everyday tasks, hence the need to add 'file://' to my whitelist. However, many of those file contains iframes, java and flash that are always temporarily blocked due to me enabling "Apply these restriction to whitelisted sites too". I wish to selectively disable these restriction for 'file://' and some other well trusted sites.

Doing so will keep restricted objects from being loaded from most sites except the above mentioned ones.

That being said, I am unaware of any option within noscript allowing these exceptions and would greatly appreciated your help on the matter.

Fine grained permissions are under development for NoScript 2.x.

Thanks ^_^

By the way, is there a visible roadmap somewhere for noscript ? I am unable to find one from the main site or the forum.

Moreover, taking about fine grained permissions, would blocking images (with placeholder like flash/java) be added to noscript's "additional restriction" tab? So that we can manually load the relevant images by clicking them (it will save bandwidth and protect from unknown image based attacks).
