Enable Multizilla's Content Blocker

This button can be used to globally disable the Content Blocker. This disables the effects for blocking images, plugins, scripts, frames and documents.

Content Blocker Acceptance Policy

This controls the content blocker for images. If the Disable content blocker for Images box is unticked, then the content blocker will be enabled and the rest of the options on the settings panel become available.

Block Images (use of white list is optional)

In this case, all images are blocked apart from those specificially allowed either by having a regular expression in the whitelist (see below) or having an entry in the main image manager panel (see above).

Accept Images (use of black list is optional)

In this case, all images are allowed apart from those specificially blocked either by having a regular expression in the blacklist (see below) or having an entry in the main image manager panel (see above).

Accept Images from the originating site only (use of black list is optional)

In this case only images from the same server that a webpage is stored on will be shown. Other images can be blocked by having a regular expression in the blacklist (see below) or having an entry in the main image manager panel (see above).

Ask me before Accepting Images (use of permissions is optional)

In this case, each time a webpage request an image, you are asked if you wish to accept it or not. Your decision can be stored so that it will not be asked for pages in that domain again. You can always show or block pages based on having a regular expression in the blacklist (see below) or having an entry in the main image manager panel (see above).

Blacklist/whitelist

Depending on your setting for the acceptance policy (above) this is either a blacklist of images, or a whitelist. Each entry in the list is comma-separated and behaves as a Regular expression. So this can be used to block or allow a large group of sites and finer control on a per-site basis can be provided by the main window.

There are three buttons available here. These are described below:

Sort / Validate Filters

Sorts the filters that you add to alphabetical order and ensures that they are syntatically correct.

Export Filters...

Allows you to export your filters as an RDF file to another computer or for other purposes.

Import Filters...

Allows you to import filters that you had exported using the Export Filters... option.

Image Acceptance Policy

If the Disable all images from websites button is checked, then all images from websites will not be shown. If it is unchecked, the further control of image acceptance is possible using the radio buttons.

Accep Images

Load all images specified by a webpage, wherever it comes from.

Acept Images from the originating server only

Load only those images that reside on the same server as the webpage requesting them. Note: this can have unintended side effects as some large websites load their images from other servers to preserve bandwidth.

Favicon Settings

The two drop-down boxes allow you to control where favicons are shown.

The checkbox Allow Favicons and Link Icons from filtered websites allows favicons to be loaded from sites that otherwise aren't allowed to load images.

Image Acceptance Policy for Mail & Newsgroups

This checkbox allows you to control whether images should be loaded in email newsgroup messages.

Image Animation

Animated images (animated GIFs) can play their animation in loops. This drop-down box allows you to control how animation should be played. It can be allowed to play as many times as the image speficies, only once or not at all. Since many web adverts use animated images, setting this to Loop only once or Never Loop can made adverts much less intrusive while still allowing them to be shown, if you wish to support the site.

Manage Image Permissions

This button takes you back to the Image Manager Settings page, the same as pressing the Back button.

Popup Acceptance Policy

Use the left-hand drop-down box to decide whether popup windows should be accepted or blocked by default.

The right-hand drop-down box need docs here

A page may try to open multiple popup windows. You can control the maximum numbe of windows allowed with the box labelled Limit maximum number of Popup Windows to:

New Window Redirector

MultiZilla can redirect new windows opened through Javascript as well. This group control how this is done.

Enable New Window Redirector for window.open()

You can choose the default behaviour when a webpage tries to open a new window from here:

Open New Window

Block All New Window Requests

Stops the webpage from opening any new windows

Open in new Tab

Forces all new windows to be opened in a new tab

Ask me what I want

Opens a dialog box asking what to do with this request to open a new window. You can choose any of the options above and a checkbox lets you store this decision for the current site

Redirect javascript:window.open() to new tabs

If this box is checked, then all links with javascript:window.open() will be redirected to new tabs rather than opening in new windows.

Override new window features specified by websites

When a website opens a new window, it can prevent parts of the chrome (such as toolbars, the status bar etc) from being shown. If you check this box you can then use the drop-down box next to it to override this and decide what features should always be shown.

Synchrnoize 'dom.disable_window_open_feature' preferences

???

Play a sound when a Popup Window has been blocked

Whenever a popup is blocked, play a sound. If this is checked, then you can select the sound to be played by pressing the Select a sound... button.

If you choose to enable info messages, then checking this box allows you to close these messages by middle-clicking on them.

Display popup icon on the tab when a new window is blocked

If this is checked then a popup icon will be shown on the tab itself. If this is checked then you can set a time limit for how long the icon is shown. This can be from 0 to 10 seconds, but should be entered in milliseconds (ie number of seconds multiplied by 1000).
