<br>
NoScripts breaks lots of stuff, largely because many sites (a) are <br>
totally dependent on JavaScript for the basics (there are eg <br>
news/magazine sites which don't even render article text unless you turn <br>
on some of their JS) and (b) some sites, particularly TV VOD sites eg <br>
CBS which pull JS from a frankly obscene number of third parties (eg <br>
something like 20 different sources for CBS when last I had to visit it <br>
some years back).<br>
<br>
NoScript lets you enable (permanently and temporarily) various JS <br>
sources and also disable permanently (hi facebook and google analytics).<br>
<br>
But having a functional web does require one to whitelist some JS from <br>
various places for various sites.<br>
<br>
I run NoScript in my firefox, and I love it. But there's per-user admin <br>
pain.<br>
<br>
