From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I like the thought, but I can't imagine that most people will enjoy getting even more popups when they load up a site, especially when they come from the browser itself.
Just take a look at OP here. If they responds this way to settings that are there for their actual benefit - just imagine how much they'll like those popups.
Yes but thats the point. You could offer the option. This site is trying to block open standards. We can apply a fix to correct it. Would you like to Tell site to fix it/Apply fix/Leave unsafe site
Then you have all options.
Now that sounds like the job for an extension, since for most users "stfu and always apply the fix" would be the preferred option.
Yep, but with consent. I'm already happy they don't his. OP is not. FOSS should aim for ideal behaviour to show non Foss software how its done right.
This shoudlnt come at the expense of user experience, so its always a balance.
