Netscape obtains blacklists of scam and spam sites which will be denied access to ActiveX and cookies. RSS capabilities will also be included in Netscape 8, which will be released on 17 February."

    I would actually like to be able to allow certain sites to run ActiveX controls. The sad fact is quite a few sites require ActiveX to function properly, and that will probably be the case for a long time. I dislike having to use IE for those sites instead of Firefox, so selective enabling of ActiveX would be OK with me.
