I just installed NoScript and found that one site I go to, Nationalgeographic.com, no longer sends me annoying adds to register, etc. The site's main page wouldn't load until I allowed only js from the site itself. There were dozens of other sites that had js denied on that page, however.
This leads me to believe that there was some javascript that was triggered by a call on another site, that gave me the ads on the site I was on. I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm wondering if there is a global option to allow only javascript from the host site, but not from other sites.
I don't know if this is wrong-headed or not. If this is absolutely not how NS works, please correct this. But since I disable all third party cookies, I'm wondering if the same global setting might work with javascript as well.
