Hey BO,
I agree, no script is a fine tool. But it's not end user friendly. I'm sure that a smart script decipher tool will eventually pop up and work as well as an add blocker does.

Using Noscript is like having a Red Light on every site. Modern AV programs today make it not necessary.
Thats because some sites when you Temporarily allow all this page, after the page reloads, more scripts attempt to run. So, allowing scrip A now also brings out scripts B, C, and D.Usually, sites like this are either nasty or if they are not nasty, they just run a lot of unnecessary stuff, trackers, ads.This are really the type of sites that makes it worthwhile using NoScript. If all webpages only ran 1 to 3 scripts, there would be no need for NoScript.

I know you dont like NoScript, I read your post the other day. But really, the Red Light is exactly what NoScript places in front of malware and annoyances. It puts an Stop to it. It tells them, you are not coming in. And all is done silently, no prompts, light on the system. It saves the system from wasting resources.

If you want to protect yourself from script-based attacks, poisoned ads and Flash attacks, you need to run something like NoScript.
That said, I also agree that it isn't user friendly. :)
The scripts that just loaded are attempting to load other garbage scripts.
Seemingly the only function lots of scripts have, is to load other scripts.
This a deliberate design meant to frustrate users and make them give up and just accept ads/malware.![]()
Hi rezpower, I am attaching my Untrusted/Blacklist, hopefully you ll find it usefull. You can copy it and replace with it your now Untrusted empty list. You can do that in the settings file you exported. After replacing the Untrusted list in the Settings file, import it back. You ll find something like this ("untrusted":"",) close to the end of your Settings file, that's what you ll replace with my list.
Most of what I blacklist are trackers and ad servers that are not required for anything. If I encounter a domain that deserves to be blacklisted, but I also found sites that require it for something useful, I usually leave those out of the blacklist but I don't whitelist them either. They are sort of like in a Limbo list (In my mind), they are so few and easy to remember I just keep them in mind.
After replacing the Untrusted list, when you are browsing and you click your NS menu, look over Untrusted. If something in the sites you visit are in the blacklist, the Untrusted heading will show the number and the names of the domains. Most of what I include in my blacklist are all over the place, you ll find them repetitiously..After a while is easy to remember them. Getting familiar with their names is part of using NoScript. In my opinion, building the blacklist is an important part of using NoScript. Enjoy it :).
Bo
