Yes, blocking on a per script basis is what I need. On one site, I'm |
| 33 |
sure it has a couple dozen scripts on it. From what I could see, I |
| 34 |
really only need to block 2 maybe 3. The others are needed for certain |
| 35 |
things on the page to work. Some are needed to make the page load at all. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The thing about getting it set up, once done, it's done. It may take 30 |
| 38 |
minutes or a hour but once it is done, it won't require much if any |
| 39 |
attention from then on. As I pointed out, I used to do this in |
| 40 |
Seamonkey with adblock. It worked well. In some cases, I'd block all |
| 41 |
by default and then set exceptions for the ones I need to work. |
| 42 |
Whichever is easier. |

Maybe one day I'll run up on a add-on that does this. Maybe. ;-) |
