Smart reload of tabs issue? about umatrix HOT 5 CLOSED

I did it this way on purpose. Usually the point of blocking images is to prevent them loading to save bandwidth, not to change the look of a page. If I was reloading, more bandwidth would be consumed. I think not reloading is the safest bet as to what a user want.

Whether to reload or not depends on what goes from blocked to allowed, or allowed to blocked. For scripts, blocking or allowing will always cause a reload. For images, only blocked to allowed will cause a reload. Etc. It depends of the type, and the direction of the transition blocked-allowed.

Thanks for clarification, what you explain makes sense and that logic applies to me. I just assumed it would reload 'always' from what I read in that feature's explanation, maybe as a way to show users how different a page behave with a particular feature on or off. So the description was sort of misleading, not the implementation.

It's true that the description says "display". I guess we should adjust the description.

Yes, that and "whenever" were the ones. And thanks for all the time you put into this :)
