[Cialug] deep STOP

[Josh More]

Not a perfect solution, but you could make an imageless Firefox profile.  Then, when you're in that situation, launch the other profile and copy/paste your tab URL into that.

See, then I lose all functionality of Google Reader and similar sites. The point is that I don't want to blanket-ly stop the entire page or browser, I need to be able to stop particular requests. I'll agree that it's a unique problem, and there may not be a solution.

But every time I see that "Transferring data from blahblahblah.com..." in the status bar in FireFox, I wish I could just double-click on it and bring up all the requests for that tab, and be able to kill each one individually or in batch.

If you use Firefox, I recommend a plugin called no-script and completely disable javascript on that site/page

Thanks!

Yes this works when I want it to be browser wide, but there are times where I just want it to be site-wide, or more conveniently, ad-hoc.

What about turning off  'Load Images Automatically'?
