@Wladimir
do you think this issue is worth making a new column in the blockable items list?
I was thinking about an extra column that tells us which domain the item is loaded from. I think this might help to get better overview now that we got domain specific filters.

(And maybe we could have a context menu option to copy the domain? Or maybe that's useless...)

Sounds like something that would make sense. Column should be hidden by default but the info should always be visible in the tooltip. What could this column be called? "Document source"?

That's a great idea.

I'm fine with this.
Alternatively, "originating domain"?
If it has something with "domain" in it, it might be easier for people to connect this feature with the Domain restriction feature.



Looking back in hindsight, the decision to change the Blockable list from vertical sidebar to horizontal was smart and it has really paid off.

"Originating domain" will trigger questions like "Why does it say 'originating domain foo.com' for 'http://bar.com/script.js', isn't it bar.com?"

I don't know if this information is available, but maybe the items could be listed hierarchically?

Code: Select all

    http://example.com/image.png					image
  - http://example.com/frame/frame.htm			frame
	    http://example.com/frame/image.png		image
	    http://example.com/frame/script.js		script
    http://example.com/script.js					script
This would also help finding the right things to block on pages with many items.

No, that information isn't really available but maybe it can be retrieved. What's more important, the frame URL displayed in the list might have redirected itself to another URL - so the document URL that is being considered for $domain and $third-party doesn't show up in the list at all.

@Wladimir
Is there a chance we can have $domain revised so it considers domain of toppage for items inside frames?
It seems like it's causing confusion and people really expect different behaviour:

If we can have $domain revised then there's also no need for the requested feature in this thread.

That's how domains always worked for element hiding, I'm not convinced it needs changing.

Done, there is a "document source" column now which is hidden by default: http://hg.mozdev.org/adblockplus/rev/7023575bdf23
