provide site classification modes, rather than only being able to tag sites one at a time
Currently, the icon in the toolbar and the "site classification" tab on the settings page only allow users to tag sites one at a time.
It would be neat if users could change the "site classification mode" as the browsed via the toolbar icon.
For example, "continuous mode" means that all visited sites are given the current tag until told otherwise.
"Sticky mode" (or "inheritance mode" if not too technical) means that sites navigated to via hyperlinks inherit the classification of its parent. Opening a new tab defaults to unsorted as usual.
What modes do you think are useful? What kind of user interaction will make this convenient and non-learning curve to use?

ps - i would call this whole concept "Tag Mode", since it has to do with how sites are tagged. The full list I see so far is:
Sticky override mode
Sticky default mode
Continuous override mode
Continuous default modeThe override modes, unlike default modes, will change a website's tag, rather than defaulting to the appropriate tag for just ? pages.
In addition to Tag Mode, which is about tagging (or classifying) sites permanently, I see other kinds of Browse Modes:
Tag Mode
Temporary Mode - right now I'm ProcrasDonating, even if I visit TWS sites, but don't reclassify sites for good, just bundle up the time
SiteSquish Mode - ??We track visits to particular URLs. URLs are bundled into URL_GROUPS (our technical names for these in the backend are even worse....). Each URL_GROUP can be tagged as PD or TWS. Finally, we keep track of totals (in time and amounts) for each URL_GROUP.
Currently we default to creating URL_GROUPS that encompass the entire domain, eg google.com.
Actually, we treat subdomains differently, so proudlyprocrasdonating.wordpress.com is viewed as a different URL_GROUP than procrastinateless.wordpress.com.
Anyway, expanding the flexibility of a URL_GROUP might be a great way to (permanently) bundle seemly disparate websites into a single concept (eg, the Go example in a different comment), as well as provide finer grained tagging (eg, treating google.com/reader as PD, but google.com/search as TWS)

Has some aspect of this been implemented alread? because I notice that when i click on the proD/? icon it marks sites either PD or TWS, also my unsorted bookmark of sites seems to include most sites I visit...
