1. Adblock, Noscript (etc. etc. etc.) have different icons for different situations. Ghostery could too:
- for enabled: the blue ghost
- for paused: the blue ghost with the pause symbol on top of it
- for a whitelisted site: a white ghost or maybe a Adblock, Noscript "disabled" slash.
2. Change the labeling of the right-click drop-down menu:
- Blocking paused
- Domain whitelisted
I'm a native speaker - but not everybody is. Improved clarity is always good.
3. The ability to open all the blocked stuff new tabs via a single mouse click.
4. Allow an advanced setting - via about:config (?) - so an entire domain can be whitelisted with a single click
Right now if you're at www.example.com and you whitelist it -> www.example.com is put in your list and not example.com

Hi guy-with-a-bunch-of-requests,
1. Please see https://getsatisfaction.com/ghostery/...
2. Could you explain what you intend to improve by this wording change?
3. What do you mean by "open all the blocked stuff"?
4. You can whitelist arbitrary URLs on Ghostery's options page.Comment -

Thanks for your quick response.
1. Okay, so it's in the works.
2. If a domain is whitelisted why call it "Whitelist domain"? That sounds like "verb noun" when "adjective (as an -ed verb) noun" is more accurate description of the situation.
3. Like on the very page we are on - there's this list:
- Facebook
- New Relic
- Twitter
it would be nice if I could open all of those to the "What is..." pages with a single click.
4. I meant If I'm on
http://www.example.com/
I'd like to be able to whitelist "example.com" with just a click. Maybe I don't understand. I think right now I can't. All I can add is "www.example.com"

2. Ah, good point. Ghostery for Firefox will eventually migrate its menu to the same findings popup Ghostery for Chrome/Safari/Opera uses, which doesn't have the same wording issues. We might fix it before then too, however.
4. I see. You can't right now, not without visiting Ghostery's options page and supplying the URL manually to the Whitelisted Sites form (3rd tab on page bottom). -

> 4. I see. You can't right now...
Why is that not offered? Noscript is set up a similar way. I wish it would let let me simply allow/disable "www.example.com" and "example.com" at the same time.

Do you have some examples of where the top-level domain alone is preferred over the full subdomain + domain URL?

2Re 4. there's no "one size fits all" solution here.
Example: something.usatoday.com
This is a domain whose subdomains are all closely related, so if you're currently looking at, say, travel.usatoday.com, it's reasonable to be able to whitelist usatoday.com.
Example: something.webs.com
As with many personal web space / blogging domains, its subdomains are unrelated to each other, and mistakenly whitelisting the top-level domain could have terrible consequences.
