Feat Request: Visual indicator for tracking/ad sites
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 5:36 pm
Would it be possible to change the icon or the font or provide some other visual notification about what sites are known ad-sites or tracking sites when unblocking?
For example, I've come to recognize many of the tracking sites (revsci, google-analytics, etc.), so I generally know I shouldn't need to allow them or about a dozen others when allowing other things on a blocked site. However, there are hundreds of common, questionable sites and a "master list" of the more common ad/tracking/malware sites included with NoScript along with a visual indicator (red or green text maybe, or a warning sign icon or something on the "Allow somequestionabledomain.com" option would be really helpful when trying to get a web page to display correctly. Right now there is no initial distinction on the main GMail page between "Allow Google.com" (presumably desireable) and "Allow google-analytics.com" (presumably undesirable).
I didn't see any past feature request like this -- but search terms for this are hard to narrow down, so my apologies if this is redundant. This feature would be very helpful, in my opinion. Thanks for your consideration.
