Firefox add-on "Flagfox is an extension that displays a flag icon indicating the current webserver's physical location. Knowing where you're connected to adds an extra layer of awareness to your browsing and can be useful to indicate the native languages and legal jurisdictions that may apply. Flagfox is simple, unobtrusive, and uses relatively little resources. In order to protect your privacy, country lookups are done locally rather than asking an external server about every page you browse to. It works by accessing an internal IP address location database, basically a rough map of the physical layout of the Internet, based on data provided by Maxmind. This gives a flag for the nationality of the actual location of the server you're connected to, rather than just the nationality of the domain name which may be different. Flagfox updates are provided on a monthly basis to keep this internal database accurate." https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flagfox/

FEATURE REQUEST: Add Flagfox-like data and an option to allow scripts globally, with 'best-efforts' blocking for pages (or scripts) from those countries the user selects.

No need for fan-boys to bore us by parroting forum doctrine in response, we are familiar with it.
