Preview: These docs are available early so you can start using them now. Some pages may still be incomplete, outdated, or change as WebLibre develops.

Site Controls

WebLibre includes a site panel for the page you are currently viewing. This is where per-site controls live.

Use it when you want to:

  • check whether the connection is secure

  • disable or re-enable tracking protection for one site

  • review saved permissions for that site

  • change autoplay behavior

  • clear site-specific data without clearing the whole browser

Open the Current Site Panel

While you are on a website, open the current site’s page panel or site information view.

That panel can show controls tied to the site you are visiting, not the whole browser.

If a setting only affects one site, this is usually where WebLibre exposes it.

Permission Shield Indicator

The small shield icon on your tab title shows your privacy posture for the current site at a glance:

  • Green shield — you have tightened privacy for this site (for example, by enabling extra protections)

  • Yellow alert shield — you have loosened privacy for this site (for example, by allowing a tracker, autoplay, or another permission)

  • Hidden — everything is at default settings for that site

This makes it obvious whether you are using stricter or looser settings than usual without opening the site panel.

Connection Information

At the top of the site panel, WebLibre can show connection status such as:

  • Connection is secure

  • Connection is not secure

  • the certificate issuer when the connection is verified

This helps you tell the difference between:

  • normal secure HTTPS pages

  • insecure HTTP pages

  • pages where WebLibre could not verify the connection properly

If a page is not secure, avoid entering sensitive information there.

Per-Site Tracking Protection

The site panel includes a per-site Enhanced Tracking Protection switch.

When it is on, trackers for that site are blocked according to your global protection mode. When it is off, that site becomes an exception.

This is useful when:

  • one site breaks under strict protection

  • you want to test whether tracking protection is the cause

  • you want to keep your global setting strong but relax it for one difficult site

Sites where you turn this off appear in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking Protection Exceptions.

Site Permissions

The same panel can show saved permissions for the current site.

These may include permissions such as:

  • camera

  • microphone

  • location

  • notifications

  • persistent storage

  • cross-origin storage

  • DRM or protected media

For each permission, WebLibre can show:

  • Ask

  • Allow

  • Block

If there are no saved decisions yet, WebLibre may show No permissions set for this site. You can still use Show all to review the full list.

For general permission behavior, see Site Permissions.

Autoplay For One Site

The site panel also includes per-site autoplay control.

The current options are:

  • Allow All

  • Block Audible

  • Block All

Use this when one site should behave differently from your normal browsing expectations.

Clear Site Data

WebLibre can clear data for just the current site without wiping the whole browser.

In the site panel, expand Clear Site Data and choose what to remove.

The data types are organized so it is clear what each option covers:

  • Site Data — the parent option. Includes:

    • Cookies

    • Cached Files

  • Auth Sessions

Then tap Clear Now and confirm the action.

WebLibre closes any open tabs that belong to the site before wiping data, so the cleared data cannot be re-created from a still-running session.

This is useful when:

  • a site is stuck in a bad login state

  • one site is misbehaving after an update

  • you want to sign out of one site without clearing everything else

This is narrower than Delete Browsing Data in settings. It targets the current site’s data instead of the whole browser.

Third-Party Redirect Blocking

WebLibre blocks third-party redirects by default. This security hardening prevents websites from quietly bouncing you through intermediate domains that could track or harm you.

If a site that relies on third-party redirects for legitimate functionality stops working, you can adjust the behavior from the Safe Browsing group in Web Engine Hardening or from the Redirect Trackers toggle under Custom tracking protection.

Global Setting or Site Control?

Use the global settings when:

  • many sites are affected

  • you want a default privacy policy for all browsing

  • you want automatic cleanup behavior

Use the site panel when:

  • only one site is broken

  • one site needs a different permission decision

  • you want to clear data for one site only

Tips

  • If one site breaks, try the site-level tracking protection toggle before lowering protection everywhere

  • If login loops or stale sessions happen, clear only that site’s data first

  • If a permission looks wrong, set it back to Ask so the site can request it again later

  • Use Data Management for browser-wide cleanup and Site Permissions for the broader permission model
