For popups that is probably true, assuming you are using moz or
konq.

But this was for ads that don't popup.
Some sites i go to have flashy ads that make page scrolling jumpy
just because the animation is running.
Also, it's nicer to read pages w/o the ads cluttering it up.

I actually wondered about blocking requests from HTML to servers
other than the page originator. This would break some sites, but i
wonder how many of those sites i want to see anyways. It would work
something like this.

I follow a link    > HTTP page request (server details noted)
page comes in      < HTTP page delivery
browser renders HTML
HTML code requests a graphic/etc

> HTTP request to noted server approved

-HTTP request to any other server dropped


My guess is it could only be implimented on the browser itself. Be
one hell of a security feature though, less than half the cookies,
and speed up surfing no end.


Unless I misunderstand you, this is just what Mozilla offers. I used to use it in Netscape, but now I find that using that disables on-line banking and too many other useful sites are broken. I've compromised and use the blocks on a site-by-site basis.

Anne, what version of Moz offers this? and where is it switched on/off?



I'm not sure when Mozilla implemented it, but you can check for it under:


To regulate cookies:
Edit => Preferences => Privacy & Security => Cookies

To regulate images:
Edit => Preferences => Privacy & Security => Images

To regulate popups:
Edit => Preferences => Privacy & Security => Popup Windows
