Having checked it out, it looks useful (thanks!), but as near as I can tell, as long as one doesn't whitelist excessively permissively, I still don't see how whitelisting manually every time I visit a site helps. For example, if I want to say that en.wikipedia.org is allowed to request from toolserver.org, how does doing that manually at every visit improve things over allowing it permanently?
