[QUOTE="Burrito, post: 811244, member: 72439"] Yeah, advanced uBO can do so many things... when I first started digging into it, it seemed complicated and beyond my willingness to learn. But then it slowly sank in... it can be really powerful. uBO can be designed as default-deny in its strictest mode. It is impractical though, as this means that most web pages would be broken... just like strict NoScript. When I used NoScript years ago, I loved it at first. I thought it was great that all scripts need permission to run. After a while though, I got tired of 'gaming' every website to see what I had to turn off and could leave on for the website to function properly. It gave me security fatigue. And even though clearly I was safer with it... I dumped it. Usability matters. If a big white list were developed, I can see where that would negate some of the safety that NoScript brings. Although I'm mildly interested to see how it does in Chrome, I'm probably not willing to mess with it that much. [/QUOTE]
