Support clikcable placeholders for plugins

[gorhill]

Just like NoScript does -- one of its best feature.

I have no idea of feasability yet.

Isn't this natively supported through Click To Play plugins? Is there a way for you to simple manage the whitelist for that the way you do for Javascript?

Problem is chrome API doesn't have a "click-to-play" setting (that would be great), it has only "allow" or "block":

But yes, currently if the user choose "click-to-play" in chromium settings, and user whitelist, say, Youtube (and whatever else it needs to play videos), it starts to resemble the NoScript feature. But for HTTPSB this would still require at least two clicks to unblock a plugin, whereas with NoScript it is a single click feature, with no need to access the popup menu.

Won't fix, Chromium has already a "click-to-play" feature, so it's just a matter of not blacklisting "plugin" and activating the "click-to-play" Chromium feature. I use it this way and it has been working fine, so I don't see the need to add more code (along with the issues/bugs) to replicate what is already built in the browser.
