FireFilter now includes an interface to deny a Web site access to Javascript. This is actually a 'hidden' function of the browser and may be used to more efficiently block garbage content.

Hello Everyone! FireFilter is slowly but surely coming together. All screenshots have been uploaded. The project summary is complete. The project Web site is simple and will suffice as-is for now.
