Sometimes a site stores images, js, stylesheets on a CDN and it can occasionally be entirely trial & error unblocking each domain until you find the one the desired content is found under.

Displaying the number of blocked items per domain would make this task much easier.

Preferably, also try to determine the filetypes of each blocked items. This is obviously not possible to do reliably without requesting the file headers, although a simple regex match for the file extension should suffice in the vast majority of cases.

I envisage it as displaying something along the following lines at the bottom of a blocked domain's sub menu when mouseovering an item in the 'Blocked destinations' section of the context menu....

> 6 items blocked:
> 1 x .css
> 2 x .js
> 3 x .png

Being able to see how many, and roughly what kind of files are being blocked on a per domain basis would make adding desired domains to the whitelist far easier.
