Suggestion: Support per-host hide/show id settings

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I use mouseless browsing quick extensively for some sites (google, web
outlook, online api documentation, etc.), but on some sites, the additional
ids distort and confuse the display (e.g. news sites, like nytimes.com).  I
would be really handy if the extension remembered if it should be showing
ids for the current site, and maintained this flag for any page on the same
base url.

Thanks

Thanks for your feedback!
MLB already offers a mechanism to define URL specific behavior.
Just press Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R, enter the appropriate URL pattern and set "Hide 
ids".
Is this what you want?
