Warning! It totally breaks mozilla before firefox.
Mozilla doesn't do anything at all now. Grr!

I installed NoScript and it appears to work very well. Newest version
released on 9-10-06. I find it blocks the scripts initiating on webpages,
not the remaining web page content. The warning which appears when a script
is blocked displays on the bottom of the window non-obtrusively. And sites
which I need scripts to run can be easily whitelisted. Thanks for the
recommend Larry.

Subject: Re: [Eug-lug] Firefox security exploit
Though all the comments at the firefox site are gaga now, yesterday
showed up a pretty sensible response to all this hoopla:
"Many webpages need to use JS to function correctly. It would be more
use if there was a blacklist instead of a whitelist because very few
websites use JS maliciously.
"Overall, I would only recommend this extension if there was, for
example, a malicious code/virus spreading over the internet. It just
"blocks too much" to be used for normal surfing."
