Is there a reason why NS > Options > Advanced offers to forbid web bugs on Untrusted sites, but not on Trusted?
This feature seems needed in Untrusted despite Embeddings offer to block every object from Untrusted sites, so the web bugs apparently aren't filtered as objects. (Images, usually, IIUC.) Those who don't apply restrictions to w/l sites could get bugs through frames or iframes.
Unless web bugs are already blocked at Trusted sites (how? - no FAQ addresses it), please add this choice for Advanced > Trusted.
TIA.

Under that definition, yes. Didn't realize the term was so much more restricted in NS than in general usage - e .g., a single-pixel clear gif, etc.al_9x wrote:hence no web bugs when script site is trusted
RequestPolicy and HOSTS handle that for me, which apparently NS can't really do. Thanks. Withdrawn.
