And when you have something that can provide more granular control then a simple on/off switch, you are both safer & able to control your browsing experience more effectively & efficiently. NoScript can do that. (Among many other things.)
So can the Proxomitron and with a heck of a lot less problems. As I have said many times, why anyone would claim NoScript is the answer when Proxo is available with the latest Sidki filters from December 2011, I can't understand. It sometimes will block something, and it is not perfect, but a lot easier to use than NoScript, plus, it works on all browsers...you are not limited to Fx or Opera with its builtin "noscript".
Proxo last update June 2003. Noscript last update? A few minutes ago!
Easier than Noscript? No. Wrong again. What is easier than right clicking on an icon and choosing allow. Now the site is configured as I like it each time - no ads or trackers, just functionality.
But your advice to ignore Noscript just shows how far out of touch you're becoming there on your (now vulnerable) virtual machine.
