noscript will be painful unless you are willing to learn about the sites'
methodology and where they pull all their content from... out of the box it
is great but some sites require tuning for them to operate... that tuning
is not disabling noscript or allowing everything on the page to run...

basically, here's the deal... let's say you go to www.foobar.net and they
load their graphics from graphics.foobar.net... you won't get any of their
graphics unless you tell noscript to allow that domain... some sites pull
scripts that enable menus and such to work... these things may be written
in javascript or php or some such... a lot of times they are using canned
scripts stored and used from another domain... like the graphics example
above, if it doesn't come from the domain you are actually on, you won't
get it...

my tuning is done by temp allowing one of what i think listed as blocked
will work... if it does, ok... if not, then i close the browser which
flushes the temp allows... then i reopen it and go back to the site and
temp allow another one... i keep doing this until i get the site to work as
needed... this can be rough on sites like banking sites which may pull
authorization from other sites and they must be allowed for logging in and
proper operation...

i definitely do not allow any ad sites but that's just me... once their
code is downloaded, it can be used from the cache so if i goof up or even
test a site and allow their ad scripts in, i will then flush the browser
and its cache to clean up the mess... it's a lot better and easier than
cleaning up motel rooms after the weekend ""guests""
have left ;)
