Perhaps you can add a list of default applications that many people want to silence, and offer to silence them automatically once the user runs them.

- aparadja 15y agoThat is something worth considering, but it would go against one of the design goals: a firewall without a single alert dialog.
- drivingmenuts 15y agoI wouldn't consider a one-time dialog box (growl, of course) to be that much of an issue. It might violate your design principle, but in the grand scheme of things, I don't think it would annoy the user.
- lovskogen 15y agoIs Growl a part of OS X?
- lovskogen 15y agoA default list of applications to silence on the first run wouldn't ruin your strapline. Which apps should be silenced on default, that's harder to figure out.
- shabble 15y agoSomewhere upthread someone mentioned an adblock-style collaborative/hosted block list. Having it follow one (or more) RSS feeds would allow anyone to offer a list, and any user could choose whether to use it or not, without any additional effort for the dev.
