NoScripts breaks lots of stuff, largely because many sites (a) are totally dependent on JavaScript for the basics (there are eg news/magazine sites which don't even render article text unless you turn on some of their JS) and (b) some sites, particularly TV VOD sites eg CBS which pull JS from a frankly obscene number of third parties (eg something like 20 different sources for CBS when last I had to visit it some years back). NoScript lets you enable (permanently and temporarily) various JS sources and also disable permanently (hi facebook and google analytics). But having a functional web does require one to whitelist some JS from various places for various sites. I run NoScript in my firefox, and I love it. But there's per-user admin pain.
