Sites like Engadget are giving message saying "script not responding, would you like to stop the script" this is generated everywhere I browse on engadget.

A Javascript Blacklist would resolve that.


It would also be desired for sites we don't want to use javascript. Conversely, it could operate on a "trust no site principal" such that we would have to add each site to a whitelist for javascript except that would be annoying
I am certain others would appreciate the feature also.

Yep they do, that's why it exists already :cool:
--> Wrong subforum ;-)

The problem of K-Meleon is really that some stuff like extensions and skins are a little hard to find, if one doesn't already know where to look :-(
Check out "Policies Manager" here, a bit below the middle:
http://kmext.sourceforge.net/ext1.htm

Note that some functions like image zooming stop working, if the global policy has javascript disabled. That's why I usually have it on, but am surfing with javascript switched off per toolbar button, always in my sight :cool:

By the way, do you happen to know the privacy toolbar?? If not, highly recommended: View -> Toolbars -> Privacy Toolbar.
There are more buttons prepared, can be found in toolbars.cfg in the current skin.
And all functions can be accessed in the menu Tools -> Privacy

Thank you.
