Lonkero I would endorse NTDOC. Noscript is I think a brilliant way to secure your computer. Most of the malware makes an entry point through scripts running from each webpage, therefore its logical to block it. But it is a pain to train Noscript, and I just ran out of time. I was quite busy back then when I tried it out. Noscript should speed your browser up slightly, but its not about speed, but rather security.
I give you that one - I normally switch my baby computer off each night, so don't experience the issue o firefox hogging the cpu over some days.
Agreed, blocking the referrer does break some functionality, but I consider the gain to outweigh the loss.
I considered trying out ad block, but for some reason or another, just never got around to it. I think noscript disables the ads anyway if I remember rightly.
But you have hit the nail on the head. This is why I like Firefox. The extensions make it so customisable.
I was looking into the issue of using Sandiebox, but I think if I put noscript back on, it would just be overkill to use a sandbox as well. I have not had an infection on my computer in I don't know how many years!
