 If users cannot figure out which of the HTTPS Everywhere rules is
 preventing accessing of their web pages, they will quit using it.

 Sadly, that is the situation that I am in.  My wife is crazy for the Java
 games at pogo.com.  Anything that prevents her from playing them is a
 show-stopper.

 When HTTPS Everywhere prevented her from editing her pogo.com avatar, it
 was easy to identify the pogo.com rule as the culprit. I disabled that
 single rule (see Ticket #4735) and all is well.

 Now there's another pogo.com breakage caused by HTTPS Everywhere (see
 Ticket #4868).  I cannot identify which of the hundreds of rules is
 causing this problem, so they all have to go.

 There is absolutely no way I will test disabling each rule individually
 and attempting to reproduce the problem being observed.  And since HTTPS
 Everywhere only allows enable/disabling rules singly or globally, doing a
 binary search is not an option.

 You guys have got to improve the ability of users to identify which
 rule(s) are to blame for web content failing to work properly.
