blocking objects on a whitelisted site.

Post by Usernamed »

I was wondering if it is possible to whitelist a site and still be able to block items on it? in other words:
@@|http://foo.com
foo.com/bar.swf is some annoying flash that I want to block but because foo.com is whitelisted I cant just block it with http://foo.com/bar.swf

And this is exactly your problem.
You either get rid of your whitelist entirely, or change your whitelist to become more specific so it only hits the items it's supposed to protect.

With the latest site restriction capabilities, getting rid of the whitelist entirely is now more viable than before since you just track down all the too aggressive filters and add:
$domain=~foo.com
to each.
