I can't speak for Opera's implementation, but the Mozilla folks have made their implementation eminently configurable, using the standard configuration variable mechanism, with one variable for each domain to be whitelisted.If you're not a programmer with direct commit access to Mozilla and Opera, just how exactly do you expect to have any control over this process?Hopefully they make this stuff user configurable. This stuff is a lot like SSL certificates that come with browsers. You can manage those yourself if you jump through the hoops.It's not so much that many people will actually do this, but the fact that users can vote with their feet keeps the people in control down the chain honest. (Well, more honest than they would be otherwise, at least.)You can't have an effictive dictatorship when people are free to move to the next country.
That means it can be altered by any of: * editing the human-readable configuration files* using the interactive about:config interface to edit the files from within the browser
* loading a third-party browser extension -- Neil
