We need whitelists. I'm using uBlocko to block all third-party requests and manually whitelist requests vital for the site such as those who load the CSS from a CDN. Many sites use their own CDN, with the domain name finishing in .net instead of .com or with whateverwebsite-cdn.com.
I believe a convenient web browsing experience is possible with about 5% of third-party requests granted. We need whitelists, not blacklists.
- jakejake 11y agoA plugin that allowed you to whitelist as you go would probably be pretty usable after a few days of training.
- o_s_m 11y agoPerhaps, but do you necessarily want to whitelist the entire site and all the accompanying JavaScript, or just the top level domain and a few components to allow it to work correctly. Depends on the granularity you desire. That's where uMatrix would come in handy.
- jlgaddis 11y agoIndeed. I'd imagine I could have it "trained" (to cover the 20 or so sites that make up the majority of my browsing) in just a couple of hours and it would be time well spent. I'd even donate or pay for an extension that did this.
