Adding a whitelist option

Open tendermonster opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Just like for a firewall, it would be interesting to see a whitelist option where the only history of a whitelisted domain would be allowed to save.

As of now as I understand it is not possible.

Has anyone already thought of implementing this functionality ?

This is an interesting idea; it kind of turns the purpose on its head, but it should be a pretty easy toggle to add.

the logic that I'm fallowing is that it is never possible to make a "complete" blacklist. With a bit of time and care after building whitelist one would only have domains that are of interest. this would make history pretty neat. but of course i can see double edge sword there -> soo what if someone found some domain that is useful, and it didn't got saved in history -> F

I think this would be a really useful option - I generally don't want sites added to the history but forget to add them to the blacklist - I'd find it easier to block all sites unless added to a whitelist. "soo what if someone found some domain that is useful, and it didn't got saved in history" - useful sites can always be bookmarked

Hope this could be implemented, but many thanks for a great add-on anyway
