Is there an extension to block all external scripts? Or could this be build into Adblock Plus?
Example:
I am at http://p2.forumforfree.com and here are two external Scripts (Google Adsense and Google Analytics). And since most ads are loaded from external pages, this would make adblocking more easy.
option: block external scripts?
Re: option: block external scripts?
There are some extensions able to manage scripts, NoScript is probably the most famous one.
Possibility of blocking third-party scripts is also planned for ABP, see changelog

Scanning through scripts sounds way too intensive... If you set the sidebar to be unsorted, the next images or frames after a script are usually the ones caused by it.Anonymous Coward wrote:Also automatic detection and blocking of local scripts that connect or load something from 3rd party servers would be nice.
Blocking external scripts is not in the Todo list anymore. Is this due to the conclusion of these bugs:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331510 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342314 ?
Wladimir, is it possible to deal with hotstperm.1 ?
for now, I try stuff like that:
But it is not very well integrated with AB+, which continues to display scripts in elements list.
It would be great if there were possibility to use white-list...

@Anonymous Coward: The possibility to block third-party content was already planned for 0.7.1 but I had to drop it because I found issues that were too difficult to solve before the release. I might take another attempt on this for 0.7.2.
@pirlouy: Ah, bug 331510 has been fixed - nice. Unfortunately we won't be able to use this feature before Firefox 3.0 (judging from comments in bug 342314 it is very unlikely that this gets into Firefox 2.0).
As to hostperm.1 - no, this would be too difficult to integrate in Adblock Plus, not worth it. Actually, the browser registers a number of different content policies and Adblock Plus is just "lucky" to be called first. You could probably edit the file compreg.dat in your profile and move this line down in the list of content policies:
