Re: What triggers "A script modified the host part ..." warning?

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

>From a first look I see that the blogspot page loads some javascript
files, probably some of them modify the links contained in the page.
Look at the advertisement service for example, it modify the page
content.  It is not so easy to understand when the user should be
alerted.

I see these new privacy features are giving us more annoying popups
than real benefits, probably it is time to drop them.
