    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105 to All on Mon Oct 16 23:04:00 2017
    On some web pages I see lots of selections in NoScripts dropdown list.

    Some like jquery I've learned to Temporarily Allow.
    I see a lot of things in the listing that I have no clue about.

    I use the Temporary option most all the time figuring if I told NoScript
    to Always Allow the next visit I made to a web page someone would had
    hacked it and my Always Allow selection would barf my XP maching.

    Ghostery(sp?) was recommended to me to use once but I gave up trying to
    learn how to use it alongside NoScript in Firefox.

    I am thinking about getting a small Address Book so I can at least
    have a page to write the unknown (to me) things I see in the list, and
    then later on do a Search on DuckDuckGo to learn if it is a good
    page option to allow, and mark the information alongside the entry for it
    in the Address Book.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks

    A good thing, Ed. It's doing its job...

    I do that on my Linux machines as well, as a matter of routine with newly browsed websites.

    Ghostery is unknown here.

    Nope. You're doing well, Ed. It's a slow process dealing with the garbage on some websites. There are some places I've completely backed-off from and gone elsewhere. Some sites just aren't worth the heartburn.

    Cheers,
    Paul.
