I've been reading the article on new content blocking mechanism, introduced with Safari 9 (https://www.webkit.org/blog/3476/content-blockers-first-look/), and the emails regarding the subject. The article and email response was helpful, but I have a few additional questions.
1. Does an extension need to set the rules each time the browser / extension starts up? Or, will Safari 9 cache the rules between restarts? 2. Is there a easy way to pause content blocking & hiding for a short period time? Or rather, what is the recommended approach to pause content blocking? For example, a user navigates to a web site and wishes to view all of the content on that page without white-listing the specific site. If I understand correctly, to pause content blocking, the extension would currently need to set / submit an empty JavaScript object to effectively clear the current rules. Then, later, when the user wishes to enable content blocking again (un-pause), the extension would need to set all of previous rules (which could be expensive). -- Brent
