Thanks barbaz,
I guess you meant - from the FAQ description of menu items:
Meaning, every thing that shows up in the 1st domain's code (currently being viewed).
Let's see if I understood - what seemed like you're explanation of why "Allowing All" didn't always make everything on a site work.
If siteA.com & everything else NS picks up on that 1st domain (for 3rd party sites) is allowed by "Allow All This Page," it shows every page or script, referenced in the source code of the base domain?
Then, if... as a result, one of the 3rd party sites (say, site_level2.com) loads in the same or another tab (say, to deliver content linked on the base domain), NS will block everything on the subsequent 3rd party sites, that WASN'T specifically detected & allowed by the "Allow All This Page" action, that was carried out while viewing the base domain?
If the 3rd parties try to load additional scripts (besides what was on original domain), NS wouldn't be able to tell ahead of time if they would be good or bad - so it just blocks them if scripts are denied globally.
And if site_level2.com requires "New" scripts to deliver more content, it will fail unless you also allow site_level2.com, once that page has loaded?
As for AdBlock, yes it blocks some stuff & some scripts - but certainly not all scripts. Usually, only ones connected to ads or such. Obviously, it's not looking for malicious scripts.
What type AdBlock subscriptions do you mean, "for blocking all the things I don't want?" Disable Malware Domains?
I'm not sure AdBlock, Ghostery, etc., are in the same solar system as NS, when it comes to protection from malicious scripts. But AdBlock also does not break half the sites.
If NS users want to deny scripts globally, I can understand people whitelisting a bunch of news sites they visit often. I'm not sure I can see stopping to check out every additional (apparently above board) news site where following stories could lead, to see what NS is showing for each new domain. Then decide if each new domain should be allowed. It'd take hours to read a couple of lengthy articles, taking side trips to a few embedded links.
I've got a spectacular tip to lower drivers' risk of auto accidents to near zero - - don't drive. Unfortunately, for many that's just not an option.
If one wants to visit illegal dark web sites, it's probably good to turn off all scripts.
But for those just using the "normal" internet, blocking all scripts breaks a large % of sites. Not that you can't get malicious scripts from mainstream sites - you absolutely can.

Allow all this page and Temporarily allow all this page enable every site shown as allowable by NoScript's menu on the current page, unless already marked as untrusted.
