I wanted to try your plugin, but by default I can't load: gmail, aws cloud services panel, and another cloud provider's configuration panel. Maybe I don't know how to use it, but what are you trying to accomplish by preventing me from loading mail.google.com by default?!

If you read here: https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki/How-to-use-HTTP-Switchboard:-Two-opposing-views#the-allow-allblock-exceptionally-approach https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki/How-to-use-H... There's a way to set it up to allow by default. The plugin looks really interesting, but I wish it would give more detail about the requests that were blocked/allowed and a better explanation if I blacklist something, is that permanent or do I have to save it each time?

  All changes to the matrix are temporary by default. Click the padlock to make them permanent. At first, this might be annoying (though it is just one-click to make it permanent), but once you have all your rules for your usual sites, it's nice that all is temporary by defaults. There is a request log in the dashboard/Statistics tab where you can see in details (full URL) what was blocked or not.

You can set it up anywhere between blocking everything to blocking nothing. I do have a couple of set up files to help people get started, here: https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/tree/master/stuff https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/tree/master/stuff By default though it comes in block-all/allow-exceptionally mode, just like NoScript and RequestPolicy. Eventually, as usual, as time permit, I would like to have a wizard for first install which will let the user choose which setup (from the ones above) is preferred to get started.

  Am I doing something exceptionally wrong? I click Restore from file in scoped rules, and then decode recipe. That gets me more json on the left (in a red box, so I assume parsing failed). I then try "Import Rules" and nothing seems to happen. The commit button at the top never allows me to click, and nothing changes. This is using the abp setup (and a few of the others in stuff/), none of which worked.

    "Restore" from About tab. The "Restore" in the Scoped rules tab is to import/export rules only. In the About tab, it is to restore all settings.

  Please post to HN when you have some sensible default config options built in! I really want to try your tool but can't be arsed to whitelist everything one by one.
