This is the "extreme" approach of allowing everything, blocking nothing, but then the user keeps the ability to see all the connections a web page does.

www.wired.com: Just... Wow! (notice the scroll bar...)
This mode might also be useful to find out what is not blocked by other installed blocker extensions.
I created a backup file which can be restored (from the About tab) in order to turn HTTPSB into a mere reporting tool:
Remember: Restoring data from a full backup file will overwrite all your settings!

Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
