Enhancement: Add a context-menu item to block ...

Post by jdgalt »

... an individual frame, image, or video (by right clicking on it and selecting "Block with NoScript").

This would give much finer control than ABE, and for some sites it is really needed.

NoScript is a security tool, not an annoyance removal tool. If a site has already displayed a malicious iframe, image, or video, you're pwned right then and there, because all a bad guy needs on the Internet is one chance to do their evil and they've got you. Also image blocking doesn't have a significant security benefit, as most (if not all) of the modern exploits of images (and other static content, for that matter), require active content in order to be effective.

This RFE isn't well suited to NS, I recommend you use a tool like Adblock Plus which has exactly what you're asking for and is better for your use case anyway.
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!
