I often go to sites that are web apps that use a bunch of js libraries and webfonts, I would like a button to "allow this tab" which would temporarily suspend all blocking for the tab. It's important to suspend all blocking and not just allow all scripts because some sites use js libraries that include other js libraries so I have to keep hitting "allow all this page" which sometimes never works because the script calls a random subdomain each time (probably for load balancing purposes).

I think the cycle goes something like: initially blocked page -> "Allow all this page" -> the calling script tries to pull down nyc-1.us.somecdn.net and is blocked -> "Allow all this page" -> the calling script now tries to pull down nyc-5.us.somecdn.net and is blocked

Another thing is that "Allow all this page" doesn't allow webfonts, I have to allow them separately - super annoying.

Sometimes a site is designed so poorly that I have to just open it in some other browser and let it do its daisy chained BS, but I'd rather just suspend noscript on a per-tab basis.

Your request has been made many times before, and it would be a privacy feature, not a security feature.

In fact, it is a sticky post in this forum: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7987

It is not a priority, but will eventually be possible in NoScript 3.

You could Allow Globally, remain in that one tab, & then remember [edit: forgot the "yeah right!"] to Forbid Globally when done.

You could enable Cascade, but that's not highly "visible", & then you still need to go back & disable that again after you've finished with that page.
(Options | Advanced | Trusted -> Cascade)

Fonts will depend on your settings on the Embeddings page.

Er, that's about per-site permissions - this user asking about per-tab permissions.
And that also has been previously requested by a lot of people.

(& kind of related, viewtopic.php?f=10&t=17144 )

Whether it's coming in NoScript 3, don't know?

Specifically, checking "Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too" will make webfonts still blocked on Allowed sites.

I have "Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too" unchecked and it still blocks webfonts even when I "Allow all this page"

The ONLY way that should be happening is if you have smoething in Untrusted.

IIRC someone reported a bug that sites which ONLY included webfonts wouldn't show up in the NS menu when "Apply these restrictions to whitelisted sites too" was unchecked, & I could confirm it... related?
