Using NoScript, do you block ALL .js files, or just selected ones?

Doesn't NoScript / using no .js break many web 2.0 ajax sites?

It initially blocks all, and you can choose to allow js from domains on a case by case basis.

For example, on the Hacker News main page, i allow js from ycombinator.com and forbid js from co2stats.com

Because you're against HN offsetting it's carbon footprint?

Doesn't loading the extra co2stats script and image from each page use more energy/carbon? What's more, it reloads itself every 5 minutes, even with no activity by the user!

Carbon preacher hypocrites! They probably heat their homes with coal-fired Franklin stoves, too.

Yes But its all offset - so that makes it okay! ;-P

No, because he doesn't want random code running on his machine if it doesn't benefit him in any way.

Personally, I block Google Analytics, because fuck Google tracking me on every site I go to.
