So I've run NoScript for a long time. On the one hand, I like having control of who gets to send data around. On the other hand, it can be obnoxious reloading pages regularly.<p>I don't believe websites should have to degrade nicely (though it is nice). In today's world, it NoScript still worth it?<p>The biggest benefit I see if that I can keep off of some of the tracking/analytics crap. Thoughts?
I used NoScript for a while in the 'temporarily allow the current site' mode, which I felt was a reasonable compromise between functionality and security.<p>However, there were still times I had to mess around to get certain web-pages to work, Firefox has a pretty good track-record with security, and the common annoyances on today's web (such as pop-ups and analytics code) are neatly blocked by AdBlockPlus or Firefox itself.<p>The recent furore about NoScript messing around with AdBlockPlus was the final straw - I removed NoScript, and I haven't looked back.<p>This wasn't very confidence-inspiring, either: <a href="http://adblockplus.org/blog/analyzing-huge-piles-of-code" rel="nofollow">http://adblockplus.org/blog/analyzing-huge-piles-of-code</a>
