Noscript will give you an idea of just how many sites run a script of some kind. You will see a large part of sites just look different when the scripts don't run, and some don't function at all. Not that it is a bad thing, it will just make you think a lot.
Yes, it has made me think about the scripts on the web sites we visit. I am probably the most conservative surfer in the house. The 4 sites I visit the most are all very reputable. They all have a lot of stuff which is flagged by NoScript. The site which prompted this thread has a bunch of embedded youtube videos on the home page and a lot is flagged by NoScript there. Even the ADSL Modem was flagged by NoScript. The static home page of our web site, created with MS FrontPage 2000 (I hope someday I can do it with Kompozer on Linux and get it to look like that!) has 6 scripts flagged by NoScript. Eyes opened to a new (for me) problem.... Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread!
