Umm, everybody, per the OP, it seems that Adblock Plus solves the issue, so why add it to NoScript? Just askin'...
ABP ui is for defining block rules, not terminating running instances, OP was just using it as an example of what it could look like.

There was a bit of a language barrier there. Thanks.

Which actually makes me wonder about the following:

Flash blocked by default everywhere. I visit YouTube. Choose the video I want to watch, click "Temporarily allow shockwave-flash..... (video #) etc.
Video starts to play. I click "Revoke temporary permissions" -- but the video doesn't stop.

I suppose the answer is that Revoke refers only to scripting permissions? If so, I would definitely support an RFE that Revoke Temp revokes "all" temp permissions, including blocked objects. I was going to bring this up before, but as said, it sounded from the OP that ABP (which I don't use) solved it.

This may be less complex, and perhaps a first step?

I'd also support the request for the tab (or any other context menu, etc.) to stop loading at any time, if it isn't too big of a job.

Edit: n/m, it's because YT is whitelisted, d'oh. [headbang]
Which solves OP's problem: don't whitelist the site, then Revoke works.


But it still might be nice to have that tab or context menu for w/l sites.
