-== Per-Site Preferences ==
+== Site/page-specific preferences ==
-* Allow the user to specify blocking of images, use of specified fonts & colors, allowance of JavaScript, etc. on a per-site basis.
-** Could also store if Java and Flash is enabled on that site.
+Allow users to specify persistent preferences (trust level, rendering options, filtering, whatever) on a site/page basis. The web is not an uniform universe, using the same rules everywhere is broken by design.
-** Examples: current NoScript and AdBlock plugins. The features of them could be integrated.
-*** NoScript shows what rules are active on the page, without having to go into the prefs. Also, rules can be changed right there.
+* Scope specification should use patterns (wildcards, regexpes, xpath expressions...), which can devolve in simple URLs/site names. [http://adblockplus.org Adblock Plus] shows how the UI can suggest a default pattern the user can customize if he wishes
-*** With AdBlock, you can see what objects are accessed on the page and you can add a new blacklist rule based on this info.
+* Site/page rules can include (but are not limitted to) :
+** blacklisting/whitelisting ([http://adblockplus.org Adblock Plus])
+** proxy rules ([http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/ Foxyproxy])
+** presentation overrides : zoom/font/colour/CSS ([http://urandom.ca/nosquint/ Nosquint])
+** trust level : allowing popups, scripts, java, flash... ([http://www.noscript.net/ NoScript])
+** rendering engine selection ([http://www.graysonmixon.com/extension/ IE View Lite])
+* ruleset sources could be local, imported from another user, or via subscipted lists/feeds ([http://adblockplus.org Adblock Plus])
