Lightbeam really needs a quick searchbar for graph and list view #705

Thanks guys

This gives users and admins a view we would otherwise not easily see. Thumbs up for the great work.

The one thing the addon needs is a way to filter the graph and the list. Imagine trying to find a specific site by zooming in and out all the time among all those items. It would make things much easier to simply type the domain in a searchbar for either graph or list view. The selection would obviously highlight and then pan or scroll to it depending on the view so a user can easily see it.

BTW the "tracking protection" feature is just plain awesome. You have all really excelled at this. It like having a web firewall built into your browser. I have tried a few excessive blocks on url's and its surprising how many sites do not load properly when this feature is enabled. I had an experience that likens back to the days of plain text websites. Bravo!

I would like to know something, when you have blocked a domain, why does it still show links through it to other domains? And does the blocking actually block connections to the browser or the computer. I am thinking about how a third party could fingerprint the browser if the selected domain is not properly blocked.

Thank again, very cool work!
