[Suggestion] Option to allow non-pop-up ads only

Post by KernelDeimos »

Many websites that run on ad revenue now require the user to disable their ad-blocker in order to use the website. This is reasonable, but some of these websites have intrusive pop-up ads, sometimes even with fake pages resembling the original site.

I think it would be useful to whitelist a site for ads which are not pop-up ads. I realize a feature like this would be enormous and likely require a lot of changes, but I think it would be a good way to combat malicious ads for websites that don't allow ad-blockers.

I think something like

Code: Select all

@@*$~popup,domain=generally.whitelisted.site
*$popup,domain=generally.whitelisted.site
is what you're looking for.
