I'm surprised there are no comments on NoScript.
Use NoScript with Linux Mint and you won't have any blue spinning
circles, and scripts won't stop the page from loading.

You are right about only having to trust two or three scripts to
have a fully functional website, a lot of those scripts are
advertisements.

The only time I disable NoScript is when I'm shopping online at a
trusted company, like Sears or Newegg. I disable NoScript so there is
no problem processing the payment.

Good to know. I haven't bought anything yet.
You will gradually learn which scripts you need with each of your
favorite websites. Like if you are using Bing Maps, you have to allow
Virtualearth.net.

I only use Bing Maps when I use Home Depot and it wants to tell me where
the store is. There, even though I didn't need to know where the store
was, the page wouldn't load without the bing maps script.

Every webpage wants to know your location now.

Google is pretending to know my location, by using
my search terms. If I enter in, maybe a hundred
"Seattle Public Library" searches, I'll probably end
up in Seattle. At least I won't be left in a "train yard"
in Toronto, on the tracks, like I used to be. Every time
I enter the computer room, I have to look both ways
for trains.
