I think you will start seeing more support of this in the future. I know some people are working on it. I wish thunderbird would just incorporate it into the browser. Consider it an option to turn on. And if you really want a secure browser, allow it to block by IP, not just domain. I fully realise this may cause FPs, but its just a web browser, and just as easy to turn the option down a setting or hold down a hotkey to temp disable. Its the wave of the future! :) --Chris
