158259 - Would be great to extend IMAGE BLOCKING to block DIFFERENT types of resources (FLASH etc.)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94035

(Core :: Graphics: Image Blocking, enhancement)

Description

[Slava Antin]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611
BuildID:    2002061104

IMAGE BLOCKING : block ANY type of resource. Editable entry in list of blocking
e.g. 
  <block url="*.ads.com" types=".gif;.png;.swf;.shtml"> or better
  <block url="*.*ads*.*" types=".gif;.png;.swf;.*html">
instead of 
  .ads.com  1F
Such a feature will give powerful protektion from undesired content like
agressive ADS (especially FLASH). Why this entries should be editable by hands :
because some systems use redirect from one place to another and threre is no way
to block the source of content itself from browser.
E.g. in HTML we have <img src="http://www.ads.com?something">, but this is just
dispatcher to redirect to 100 another servers. So, I have to block DISPATCHER,
but I can never have page with URL http://www.ads.com?something be opened in
browser because of redirect.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter any website with agressive FLASH ADS.
