Hi,
I would like to know what risks/annoyance/displeasure I bring upon myself if I grant JS being executed when reading TR-stuff (in this question I take TR mainly as an example).
I installed NoScript as an extension in Firefox and now several pieces of JS want to get permission to be executed, originating:
1. js.revsci.net
2. i.i.com.com
3. adimg.com.com
Honestly I think there will be no harm in executing those scripts (TR cannot afford it if they would), but
A. what do they do,
B. how can I generally get an answer to this question by myself, regarding other pieces of JS urging to be executed at numerous other sites, or cannot I?
BTW, some sites don’t function properly if I deny all scripting; then I simply guess (by name, or by other intuitive triggers) whether to grant a script, running the risk of getting myself into trouble (e.g. giving away my identity or the like).
I installed McAfee SiteAdvisor as well; can I generally count on no harm whatsoever, if this tool shows the actual site as a ‘green’ one, regarding pieces of JS?
TIA
