Re: Enable/Disable Add-Ons for specific sites

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

I suppose this would mean that all ActiveX Add-ons would be disabled for the
sites. Hmmm... as I look at the add-ins, I realize that the only seemingly
useful ones would be Flash and Java. That's something to consider.

Thanks again,
J.W.

Hi JW
This question has been asked previously. Unfortunately there is no
settings for blocking ActiveX on a by site basis. You could try enabling
ActiveX Flash in your Add-ons manager, then setting your Internet Security
settings to High (blocking activeX) and then adding specific sites to your
trusted zone (where the security level is low, allowing activeX).

Hello,

I got fed up with all the animated Flash advertisements, so I decided to
disable the Shockwave Flash Object Add-on. (Tools->Manage Add-ons).
It's working great so far, as I don't have to search for the little 'X
Close' box on the advertisement that pops up or worry about my mouse
wandering over a banner ad.

But there are a couple of web sites that use Shockwave Flash that I visit
infrequently. Every time I do so, I must enable the Add-On through the
Tools menu and disable it when I'm done. While this is not too big of a
hassle, it would be nice to enable the Shockwave Flash Objects on these
specific sites (while disabled on all other sites).

Does anyone know if Add-Ons can be enabled/disabled on a site-by-site
basis, or by browser window basis?

Regards,
J.W.
