Best method to identify blocked content?

[HighTechGeek]

I'm wondering if there is a better method to find out which sites need to be unblocked in order to see specific content.

For example, I go to a lot of news sites and often want to see the video and the comments sections which are typically blocked.

Right now, I have to manually temp-trust one site at a time, reload the page, click the link (play button, comments button, etc) and then wait to see if it loads. Then, when it doesn't, reset the site back to default, unblock the next one and repeat the process. Often there are 30-40 sites and more sub-sites are added as you allow certain urls. This process can take forever. In many cases, multiple sites have to be trusted and finding those combinations is nigh impossible. I often just give up and temp allow everything.

Is there a way to see what sites the various buttons are trying to reach (inspecting elements, looking at the page source, sniffing traffic, etc.?) so I can quickly just allow those site? Or am I resigned to just hours of trial and error?

Sometimes I'll temp-trust a handful of the sites and try to narrow it down that way, cutting the selections in half or something, but it gets confusing fast when the list is long and new ones get added to the list as you allow more and more sub levels...

Thanks for any insight!

Unfortunately it just is trial-and-error to some extent. But there are ways to reduce the amount of trial-and-error, e.g. viewtopic.php?p=75314#p75314
