It's about time someone did this! I noticed the link to this in your sig on zine, and had to install it immediately - something I rarely do before extensive scrutiny. Afterward, it made me feel like your avatar - hallelujah!

I always thought NoScript was WAY overkill, and if AdBlock Plus can block scripts (not script FILES, scripts embedded in the HTML), I haven't figured out how to get it to do it yet. (There's a lot I haven't figured out about ABP.)

I would give this a 10, but my ultimate wish would be to have this and ABP and FlashBlock and Tab Mix Plus's permissions, and a couple things that haven't been invented yet, all rolled into a single UI where I could go and say

"Block these images, and all objects of type Flash and QuickTime, for THIS site"
and
"Block all frames, and all PDF files, and all objects of type Windows Media and RealPlayer, for THAT site"
and
"Block these scripts (but not those) and all external (but not internal) redirects for this OTHER site"
and so on. THAT would be perfect.
