Poor practice. A lot of the scripts that you most want to block, like
the ones that execute "drive by" attacks on your computer, do nothing
that affects the visible operation of the page, so you'd never know
they're there to be blocked.
So far what I'm doing is temporarily allowing some scripts on the sites
I visit.
Some of the sites absolutely have to have scripts to operate. I no
longer subscribe to a daily hard-copy newspaper, and the comics I want
to continue to read almost all have to have scripts enabled to be visible.
So I look at the scripts that want to run and temporarily allow the ones
that make the comics turn visible and I make a note for later so I can
decide whether to allow them permanently.
I figure that some time in the future, once I've begun to get this think
settled in, I'll turn off the script notification bar & turn on the
sound to alert me when I hit a new site with problems running scripts.
I'm still trying to figure out what default setting to use for when the
page wants to open a .PDF file.
