IMO CRX could be improved from a user-friendliness POV if their could be a GUI interface for the blacklist/whitelist expressions. (Plain English clickable menus, etc.)

Thanks for this Lance.

How do you mean? Other than what is available in Settings?

I mean that stuff like regular expressions is a bit on the geeky side for someone like me, and I don't really have time to study up on all the symbols and stuff.

Hmm ... How can I describe this ... ? Um ... Say I want to blacklist any string of characters starting with "LA", but I don't want to blacklist my own name "LANCE". From what I can gather about regular expressions, I'd have to use some symbols or characters to indicate "starts with", something else for the character range, another thing to exclude the string "NCE" ... For a non-geek like me, that could be an hour's work just on research! Whereas if I had a form with a combination of character fields, drop-down menus and +/- buttons to add or delete criteria ... that would be heaps quicker as well as much more intuitive. Drop-down menus could include options like "contains", "doesn't contain", "starts with", "and", "or", "unless", etc. Eudora's filter window works something like this, or OSX Tiger's Spotlight, etc......

So IOW a GUI interface that can produce the same expression as a geek could bash out on a keyboard, without the user needing to know much (any?) scripting.

Am I making sense?
