Good solution, but I noticed that portions of the text for collapsed CNAME rows are being shown:

cname_row_artifacts

Yes, saved for me.

I was actually more curious about the reasoning behind the settings getting saved rather than if it affected only myself.

The idea is that some people might want to only see what's blocked, since it's these rows that are of interest when trying to unbreak a site.

Could you perhaps let us make a choice there to make the filtering subset permanent or not? E.g. by clicking a lock icon in the filtering pane itself, similar to per-site -switches or dynamic filtering.

If not, the visual cue you suggested gwarser could be enough by itself.

Except this thread, this is not in the Wiki or the documentation. I believe it should be added. Something like "Collapsed rows are normal and show requests blocked by the network firewall directly" (correct me if wrong).
