Firefox and NoScript

As I thought it would be, this is beyond irritating on a lot of pages.  I’d suggest little-used browsers.  Chrome is one; K-Meleon is another.  Opera is too well known.  I’d be willing to bet (I’ll try either today or tomorrow) that games on Pogo.com (which is legit, by the bye–‘reallyhappy108’ is my [temporary] use-name and the effects of multiple seizures still show, chess only) will be impossible.  There is no perfect defense.

The NoScript and any similar solutions like disabling Adobe and Active-X will probably drive you crazy.  WTF; we live in the states anyway.  And for the record, that little phrase was inherited (WTF) from Morse to teletype, so I was using it during the Vietnam war.

Incidentally, IE8 is more irritating and not a bit more secure.  Not that I’ve tried it, you understand….or use it, when I use IE.
