[Privoxy-users] feature suggestion - button editing of per-site permissions

[Ian Silvester]

Hi Steven, 

When we spoke outside the list I thought what you were looking for was simply to default the rules editor settings to on, so as to save editing with the config file. I can see some benefit to this for those not 'technical' enough to understand how to do so and wondered what others thought? 

I'd be interested in hearing what other developers think, but my take on what you've outlined in your post would require implementing a whole additional configuration layer to manage which 'undesirable' sites are being filtered, per web site, and then to develop and maintain a database of 'degree of breakage' for each pairing of site and undesirable. That sounds like quite an undertaking. 

My 2c, I wonder what others think? 

Ian
