Review for RequestPolicy by gaby de wilde
Rated 2 out of 5 stars
it was really a great extension and I've used it for quite some time (before giving up on it) It makes stupid pages with chained loaders loading 100+ external things load in 0.2 rather than 5+ seconds.
Sadly it also kills the css files "rendering" most websites hard if not impossible to use.
While wonderful in concept the lack of logic and the weird UI consumes almost as much time as was gained, time you have to spend aiming the mouse and clicking all over the place, guessing which blocked content is the css file is so weird it is entirely not worth the effort (specially for sites you visit only 1 time)
Adding a temp exception for single visit domains shouldn't require more than 1 click, this feature needs an extra task bar button or the (usual) "disable" function when right clicking the icon. One has to use a sub menu entry the whole time? This part was not very well done at all. After diving into the sub menu's thousands of times I just had enough of it. sorry. Perhaps if it was the first entry in stead of the last I would be less annoyed by it.
Disabling redirects should be optional as it is not useful for anything. It just makes browsing even more annoying. Sometimes redirecting images and iframes don't seem to work at all, regardless of the settings.
Hope this helps and good luck!
