I'm so glad I discovered this plugin. Been running Adblock/NoScript for a good long while but still found them lacking because neither handle cross-site requests, which I was keen to get control of as so many sites out there access all manner of unwanted off-site rubbish during browsing, totally ruining any chance of privacy and so on. Thankfully I discovered RequestPolicy as this seems to do exactly as I needed, and I'm happy to say it's worked fine so far.

I guess it takes some degree of skill to operate, similar to running the NoScript extension, so may not appeal to some people out there, but for anyone like me looking for strong control over how Firefox runs around the web, this could be just the thing.

No serious criticisms here, though the menu Red/Green text was a little difficult to read against the Nasa Night Launch (dark) window theme I was running, so I was thinking it could benefit from an option to set colours in config to cure that. The red on black in particular gets a little hard to see. Other than that it's all good!
