YesScript 2.0
by Jason Barnabe
A JavaScript blacklist
About this Add-on
YesScript lets you make a blacklist of sites that aren't allowed to run JavaScript. Use YesScript on sites that annoy you or hog your system resources. One click to the icon in the status bar turns scripts on or off for the current site.
Unlike NoScript, YesScript does absolutely nothing to improve your security. I believe that Firefox is secure enough by default and that blocking all scripts by default is paranoia. YesScript strives to remove hassles from your browsing experience, rather than add them.

Firefox is unacceptable because of what was done to Brandon Eich.
Thanks for posting, sorry about the INGRATES here. Being in Houston, I like to read our local rag, but it jams the hell out of my computer.
This solved it!
Thanks for posting this.
You could also just open the inspector in your browser and run the following command in the console: clearInterval(timer)
Note that if you refresh or load the page later you’ll need to run the command again.
drudge has his page set to refresh every two minutes, which is pretty ridiculous.
Does anyone know why Drudge feels the need to reload his site so often?
Drudge does it so he can lie to adverisers and tell them he gets more hits to his page so he can charge higher advertising rates.
I’m glad it helped you.
Thanks, I have NoScript, but it’s a pain in the ass to keep switching it on and off—some things need java to work and this approach seems better. Sweet...
Try not moving your lips while you read.
Matt should at least double the time between refreshing. His stuff don’t change that fast.

Opera has something like YesScript built into the browser.
A lot of the malware out there is browser specific. Which why I use Opera. Opera is not as popular as IE, Firefox or Chrome so hackers don’t write stuff to target it. It’s not quite as user friendly but it get the job done.
Thanks for the suggestion, Drudge Report loads almost instantly now! I will now try it out with some of the news sites.
Yes Script is not compatible with the latest version of firefox.
