Now as for no-script, it might be doing something but I'm not 100% about that. For sure it's good at slowing down my websurfing since I have to manually determine which scripts are and aren't to be trusted, one at a time, which can make visiting new sites frustrating (and confusing) based on the number of scripts it wants to run, many of which legitimately make the site function.
If I already have adblock and ghostery, is there still a purpose for using noscript?
