NoScript: fast and secure web browsing

Do you hate animated ads on web pages? Roll-out whole-page ads that hide main content? Big flash content that will slow down page loading? I do.
Simplest answers for this problem are:
- use text-only browsers (Lynx-like)
- disable JavaScript globally in your browser
- install NoScript Firefox extension
The last option is better if you sometimes need graphics and Flash/Java Script. NoSCript has cute configurable interface:
By default JavaScript / Flash are blocked for all sites (good starting setting), you can enable them by white-listing.
Very useful side-effect of NoScript (except nasty ads removal): your browsing is safer. Only selected domains (whitelisted explicitly) could execute JavaScript in your browser.
