Add a feature where the plugin collects all cookies that are commonly blocked and then shares that info back to a server. With that info that plugin can get a list of all the cookies on a page and query the server to rank those cookies from most blocked to least blocked.
This way users of this plugin can rely on the wisdom of the crowds to quickly see which cooks people who know better commonly block.
Should every user look over the entire list of cookies on a site? Yes, in an ideal world. But since that isn't realistic, the best we can do is present them with those they will mostly likely want to block right at the top.

- malandrew 13y agoI reckon it could be stored and shared via a distributed hash table such as Kademlia. This has the advantage of anonymizing the data. When your computer connects to mine to get rankings for a site, it doesn't know if data I provide is based on my decisions or the aggregate decisions of millions of people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia
