Interviewed by CNN on 20/09/2013 19:14, PhillipJones told the world:

 Instead of white list. You need a Black list anything you don't want put 
 them in a Black list get rid of them.

From a security standpoint, blacklists are useless. For instance,
consider the numerous security issues disclosed about Java this year --
which are the reason older Java versions are automatically blocked, and
the Java Deployment Toolkit is still blocked by default regardless of
version.

Blacklisting known-bad sites wouldn't help much, because you would still
be vulnerable to Java exploits in every new site you visited

Does Ask To Activate plug-in have a whitelist option?

2013-09-20 Thread Ant

Hello.

On some web sites, I do want specific plug-in (e.g., Flash) to activate 
without my prompt. Does it exist? I do not see it. I like how old 
Flashblock extension/addon have that option.


Thank you in advance. :)

On such sites you should see a blue icon in the front of the location 
bar. Click it, open the Activate plugins drop-down and choose Always 
activate plugins for this site.


Such whitelisting can be checked and controlled in the Data Manager's 
Permissions tab (per domain).
