That's what I got too. As an experiment, I then told NoScript to temporarily allow all the scripts I hadn't explicitly blocked. Then those scripts loaded more scripts, so I allowed those. And those scripts loaded more scripts. At some point I replicated GP's experience - What a mess. It's funny to me when people on HN say you have to have JS enabled by default to be "modern". Ha, no I don't.
