I'm all for more tools for users to limit resource abuse, but I don't see it changing a thing. The precedents are already set. If the user doesn't give the developer what he/she wants, the developer will: - block them until the user allows however much resource abuse the developer desires (ad-block blocking scripts), or nag them to change their settings - try to evade the blocking using any and every unblocked mechanism (ads via websockets to get around request filters, etc.) - do absolutely nothing and let the site stay broken The problem isn't that there are resources to abuse. The problem is the significant motivation to abuse them.
