I've been sitting on this complaint for a while now. It is really, really starting to annoy me that comments on a webpage rely on JavaScript hosted by some other website. I use NoScript for a reason. I temporarily whitelist pages which I (after a quick glance), deem trustworthy. I have been known to whitelist Disqus on occasion, but I'd rather not. In this particular case there were a whole slew of external domains that were blacklisted, there's just no way I am going to enable them one by one to see which ones are needed for a few user comments to load. I know, it's my loss. But I suspect that website owners would have an interest in showing off all the good comments their users post. I'm probably a minority, but using NoScript instead of all the adblockers out there makes me feel like I'm a "friendly user" to website owners. I will see their ad's as long as they don't depend on external JavaScript. There might be a tiny niche market here (ad-network with reliable stats hosted without external dependencies), but I wonder if it'd be worth going after. On a tangent: I'm just waiting for the day when GitHub will hit me with something nasty, since I have them fully whitelisted. Maybe I should have written a blog entry instead.
