I was thinking the same thing. We need a permission system for websites. Preferably useable on a per-domain basis so I can disable those APIs on adnetworks' domains.

The (currently embryonic) Permissions API [1] looks like it's aimed at precisely this use case.

Thats what made Opera up to 12.xx great. “Edit site preferences…” menu let you tweak EVERY SINGLE option per domain.
