found this add-in from a lengthy article in PC WORLD magazine, about hot beat beat spyware, hackers, etc...

There's a browser safer than Firefox...
...it is Firefox, with NoScript!

NoScript provides extra protection for your Mozilla/Firefox or Flock browser: this extension allows JavaScript and Java execution only for trusted domains of your choice (e.g. your home-banking web site).

This whitelist based pre-emptive script blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even not known yet!) with no loss of functionality...

You can enable JavaScript/Java execution for sites you trust with a simple left-click on the NoScript status bar icon (look at the picture), or using the contextual menu, for easier operation in popup statusbar-less windows.

Staying safe has never been so easy!. Experts will agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript

I bet thats a headache to maintain a list of allowed sites. Javascript is everywhere.
