Here's a new problem for me:
When I go to http://www.fandango.com/ the page appears initially but within a second or two the screen goes white. As don't recall this happening on any other website. Plus my Safari renders the fandango.com pages just fine.
I have emptied my cache. I have deleted all of fandango cookies. Java is enabled. I have unchecked all the Annoyance Blocking features. I can't think of anything else to do.
Any ideas. I'd appreciate if you would visit the Fandango site and see if your Camino browser encounters the same problem. And I invite your suggestions on how to correct the problem. Thanks!

Re: Curious problem
Some Javascript code from http://www.nbcudigitaladops.com is causing the white page, mainly due to it trying to load an ad from another server that seems to be offline or unavailable.
If you block scripts from nbcudigitaladops.com then the page shows up fine.

Re: Curious problem
How do I block scripts? I do not see this option offered in Preferences.

Re: Curious problem
There isn't any way to do it in prefs, but you can add a permission manually to permissions.sqlite using a database editor. (If there's an easier way to do it, I'm all ears.)

Re: Curious problem
...but if you don't mind blocking *all* access to that site, you can add it to your /etc/hosts file using your favourite text editor (needs to be capable of root privileges):
127.0.0.1 www.nbcudigitaladops.com
That's what I did, because I've never seen a site that needed to access nbcudigitaladops.com in order to function properly.
RPMozley, did you happen to catch the page source when you saw that blanking? I'm curious to know if it's something we can fix in our own ad-blocking.

We really need someone to write a third-party preference pane that exposes all of the permissions system

No, there wasn't any source as the site wasn't loading anything (would have timed out if I had left it) it was "Transfering data from secure.quantserve.com..." showing in the status bar. (Possibly trying to load another script)

Oh, I used CamiNoScript prefpane (Intel only) to edit the permissions info. Only issue with it is you have to look at the source to find the script address, there's no interface like in the NoScript Firefox add-on.

Color me totally unsurprised that four quantserve.com domains are already being blocked via my hosts file
