add NoScript-like feature

[diracdeltas]

some power users have asked for the ability to block js from running except on whitelisted sites. Chrome has a feature to whitelist/blacklist scripts by hostname pattern, which may be sufficient.

Do you have that list and know information on how it is maintained? Seems like a super easy win for us to have on all platforms.

There's no central list. the two approaches i've seen are:

1. chrome > advanced > content settings > disallow JS except on sites matching hostname patterns that you enter in
2. noscript - block js on all sites, can select "allow scripts on this site" whenever you encounter a site

I guess we could support both modes. #1 seems much more useful to me though.

[diracdeltas]

agree

As a long-time user of NoScript on Firefox, I would also like something like that implemented in Brave. Both approaches mentioned by @diracdeltas to whitelist websites are good, and I can't think of a reason to implement only one instead of both.
