Re:All Major Browsers Fall at Pwn2Own Day Two by bsder on Friday March 20, 2015 @09:18PM (#9241537)
For me, the big win of things like NoScript is that I can block the zillion websites OTHER than the one I'm actually trying to view. This has the upside of making my web browsing amazingly fast because it stops the 50 DNS queries that every page makes.

Forbes.com is mentioned, here's what else is on that web page after enabling forbes.com:

Blacklisted: doubleclick.net, optimizely.com, bluekai.com, scorecardresearch.com, googletagmanager.com

Other: forbesimg.com, gigya.com, sail-horizon.com, amazon-adsystem.com, media.net, garble.cloudfront.net, chartbeat.com, mediavoice.com, .............

Do YOU trust that ALL of those sites got their Javascript secure? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And, let's not even start with all the people who run "Blogoblather 0.4.5" (it will never reach 1.0) who could just post a static web page. No, I don't want to discuss this, and no I'm not logging in. Oh, and, gee, if it were a static web page, if you do get featured on Reddit, YOUR SERVER WON'T FALL OVER AND DIE accessing a database that doesn't have any comments other than spam anyway.
