I highly recommend gorhill's umatrix, it's perfect. Alternatively you could give this a try: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/site-specific...

AFAIK Firefox also has site specific settings hidden somewhere but I am not sure.

RIP Opera 12... I wish they'd just freely release the sources.

Firefox had site-specific settings...

...and there was even a bug to create a nice UI for it...

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38966

...but look at the last comment on that bug. :(

Interestingly enough, IE11 still contains much the same UI for white/black/default-listing sites in different zones with configurable options that has been there since at least IE4:

Typical. I guess someone needs to implement the functionality as proprietary website then Mozilla could add it back in!
