I have been using NoScript for about 3 months. It is good stuff if you
remember to permit JS around sites that otherwise seem incompatible and
drive you up the wall. The 'smarter' sites explicitly state that you need to
allow scripting. Initially, that extention cost me a lot of time.
Thereafter, it's a joy.
