Add an option to collapse the screen area of all blocked objects (similar to the feature in !AdBlock Plus). This would be for all types of objects, including images.

{{{AdBlock+}}} would be the reference here, but would this be as trivial as adding a class, eg _rp_shouldLoad_denied, which could be targeted with css, eg:

_pr_shouldLoad_denied {
display: none;
}

or:

_pr_shouldLoad_denied {
max-width: 0px;
max-height: 0px;
}

Breakage is likely expected here, as the end user is opting to arbitrarily modify the page -- and dynamically at that, as policies are changed. This would make using image placholders impossible, but it seems to have a valid use case.

For the general case, the above should be easy enough -- this mostly already happens when the menu is populated; however, tags like {{{}}} get a little tricky, as they may or may not represent an actual prior request (or even a request at all). However, this is probably just another instance where not trying to guess what requests happened after the fact would be useful...
