Description Pasi Hirvonen 2002-02-25 15:11:54 UTC
I think it would be really useful to have a feature equal to Image Sites
and Cookies Sites for Javascript. It would basically be just a list of
sites where to allow Javascript to be ran from.

Benefits: Because Javascript is often considered as a security flaw, people
tend to keep it disabled. Usually, this doesn't "break" anything, and may
even make some sites more usable. But!, in some sites, which you trust, you
may want to keep it enabled, especially if it makes your life easier
somehow. Examples: Certain stupid services of my ISP, which require it to
be enabled ;) and Google (focus is moved to search bar when document is
loaded, handy IMHO).I bet it's not a big job to find more examples.

Another big example of a site that annoyingly demands javascript is this very  
bugzilla :-)  
  
Seriously, tholugh, I don't know if it should go in a separate bug but this  
feature would be wonderful for Java applets, too.

Galeon has not seen any code changes since May 2010:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/archive/galeon/log

This project is not under active development anymore and got recently archived in GNOME Git.

It is currently unlikely that there will be any further active development.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone
takes the responsibility for active development again.
