[ale] Critical JavaScript vulnerability in Firefox 3.5

[Jeff Lightner]

Yep.  

It's not even that hard to train.  When you get to sites you want to see
the content of you just click the little icon and unblock what you're
interested in while still blocking those elements (e.g. the Google
javascript everyone includes) you don't want.

 

WOT gives ratings on sites too so you can get a nice little red circle
if others have already determined it is a risky place to be.   They even
flag Experts-Exhange links in your Google searches so you don't
accidently click on one while looking for real answers.

Gotta love NoScript if you have the patience to train it.
