How to block a specific API?

Hi,

I use Iron on Windows and Linux distros. I use about 10 extensions which are always enabled, and 40 extensions disabled.

The enabled extensions get get from users any information.

Also the web page which we load can use some API's to get some informations from us. For example google's english main sites allows to search with voice without asking any questions. For example, If a site use Adobe Flash and it want to get the voice from user, Adobe Flash ask to user: "you want to enable voice API" (something like that).

We are using open source web browser. I am asking if it is possible to disable an API manually (wtih extension, tweak or something) ?

There are extensions like NoScript. But they are not working %100 properly yet, also I dont wanna use them because they are blocking everything. I dont wanna spend my all time to think and enable/disable for each site.

Thanks in advance...

you can use adblockplus with some specific lists

for example the lists:

Fanboy's Tracking/Stats Blocking
easy privacy
