Basically, yes. I use NoScript, blocking everything by default. If a page doesn't load, I enable stuff until it does. I've been doing this for years, so I know what's generally needed. But for Goodreads, I'd be hosed as soon as I allowed the site itself: > In the case of goodreads, their HTML contains javascript from the ad provider.
