you might want to tweak the 'block images' function to make it operate more like
Ad-Shield, so that you don't necessarilly have to block every image from a given
domain.  For example, when i go to Boston.com, there are alot of banner ads that
i'd like to get rid of.  problem is, they, along with all other images on the
website, seem to share the domain 'cache.boston.com'.  so, it's all or nothing,
and i can't customize the domain to read something like 'cache.boston.com/ads',
so that pictures come through, but the ads are blocked.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.utilize the 'block images from..' function on any website where all or most
images (both ads and normal pictures) share the same domain.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
all images blocked, even the ones i did want to see
