This would be an amazing feature! Good luck in your efforts.

That sounds great, but it seems like a Hard Problem, given that lots of sites/apps use modals for necessary things like logins and shopping carts. I suppose one approach would be to inject some kind of 'close and stay closed' control into any elements that cover the page (nice for paywall gray screens, too...)

  I use 'nuke anything' for the gray screens. Click the stuff you never want to see again and it's gone forever.

  I'm not sure it's all that hard. It's never been a great idea to make core user flows reliant on modals (by all means use them, but make sure you either practice progressive enhancement or have a fallback). Sites doing so are at risk of failing their users. That said, I'd love for a solution akin to popup blocking: block the popunder but alert the user that it happened and allow them to show certain ones.

Let me turn off Javascript more easily. And back on again easily. I usually need it gone for like 5 seconds, and then I need it back on, each of which is one key and one click in Safari and an entire journey to the moon and back in Firefox.

  It would be cool if I could enable js on a per site basis
  - irrational 8y ago
    You can with NoScript.
  - KozmoNau7 8y ago
    Unlock Origin in advanced mode can do it, so can Noscript.

    One word: uMatrix. NoScript lacks control on per-site basis, but is still ok.
    - paulryanrogers 8y ago
      IIRC, Noscript had per-domain JS controls before Umatrix existed.
      - squarefoot 8y ago
        But lacked fine grained control, at least the last time I used it. With uMatrix I can tell the browser to disable something (cookies/script/frames/media etc.) here but keep it enabled else/everywhere and the other way around. It gives the finest possible control but of course requires some time to whitelist the good stuff on new pages. A minor annoyance compared to the control it offers.

        I wish it allowed for even finer control, though. What if it could prevent one specific function from running? Or replace tracking functions with no-op ones? Or hook into HTTP APIs in order to let you audit, modify or interrupt communications?
