So if you run it, expect to have sites that don't function
right. But you can always whitelist those sites in NoScript, it
just takes a couple clicks. There are still many people who find
the inconvenience of having to whitelist a good trade off for security.
It's really a minor inconvenience, and it's also interesting to see
where sites are drawing their scripts from. It's not surprising that
there is as much malware on the web given that websites draw on
scripts from several places, which really lowers their security, as
there is no way for them to know if the supporting sites are hacked.
