{{FeaturePageBody | |||
|Feature overview=Unknown, slow or insecure plugins shouldn't be allowed to run without user interaction. | |||
Meant to help with multiple scenarios: | |||
# Accidental/malicious install: "Hey, we suddenly found a new SketchyWare.dll plugin on your system. Did you actually want to use it?" | |||
# Performance: The "Java makes my system asplode when a page loads, but sometimes I want to use it" problem. | |||
# Security: Users who don't trust Flash, as well as giving us a way to soft-block a plugin that a user needs to use on legit sites (YouTube, intranet, whatever). | |||
Chrome already does something similar. | |||
|Feature requirements=* Ability to set autoplay, click-to-play or never play on any plugin | |||
* Built-in whitelist for the most common plugins | |||
|Feature ux design=* Settings: Render this plugin: (Always|when clicked|never) | |||
* When you have clicked a particular plugin on a given site 3 times or more, we should enable it automatically from then on if you haven't explicitly said otherwise. | |||
* Optional, but interesting: Ability to soft-block 0-day using click-to-play. | |||
