98834 - Feature request - banned urls

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 26272

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Terrell Larson]

I think that mozilla should support a list of banned urls.  This would be urls
that are ignored even if they are specifically requested.  THere are 2 reasons
for this.

1) porn sites.  Parents should be able to lock them out right in the browser.

2) ad sites.  I don't want to look at the **** from doubleclick for instance.

I think this should be implemented by way of a link to a block server so that
people can build a database of regular expressions which will match in various
ways.  I do realise that this may be a very difficult undertaking - but a simple
blocklist would not be.

This looks like a duplicate of bug 26272. The image manager does this type of
thing too

page. for more info read about JavaScript Capabilities (Security: CAPS) on
