But really, there is a human problem from which NoScript cannot protect you.  What if you have setup a website as trusted through NoScript, then that site gets compromised?  If there is malware in the compromised site, it is possible that your trusted relationship will allow that code to run and infect you.  Yes, there are extra protections built into NoScript to protect against even trusted sites (see screenshots below), but this is still a problem if you have a site in the whitelist and it gets compromised.

This seems obvious now that I see it, but I never thought about it until Alan’s blog got compromised.  My advice would be to whitelist as little as possible and to use the temporary allow feature for everything that doesn’t cause you severe headaches.

The first load was pretty slow, but that is to be expected the first time it comes up on a new system.  It loaded much quicker the second time around.  I’ll play around and let you know what I think later on.

Update.  I said later, but here are a couple of thoughts / impressions right now:

• The load status of webpages is in the address bar, which is different for me (maybe that is standard for Mac users). 
• Intense Debate (the new blog comment system that I am beta testing) seems to work fine with it.  Intense Debate also works great with Firefox on my system, but IE seems to choke on it quite a bit.
• The fonts seem to be a tad hazy.  Not as crisp maybe
• iGoogle looks pretty good on it
• The redlines under suspected misspelled words is much more noticeable
• I still like IE7’s new tab feature rather than needing to hit CTRL-T
• I don’t like that there is not a history arrow in the address field.  Instead you have to click the history menu.  Maybe that is just because I am used to it, but I like that feature on IE and Firefox

Maybe some more later.

OK, more:  Where is the area that gives you a preview of the link you are about to click on?  I can’t see where I am going!!  Oops… OK, found it.  You have to choose View > Show Status Bar.  This is becoming more like a twit post than a blog post.
