"And with respect to DDoS, NoScript wouldn’t help because we could have done it all with HTML," "RequestPolicy" on the other hand does work against this. For example, when I visit threatpost.com, it wants to pull in content from the following external domains: kasperskycontenthub.com addthis.com gravatar.com wordpress.com google.com twitter.com google-analytics.com cloudfront.net fonts.googleapis.com RequestPolicy blocks all of this by default, and the site and content is still perfectly readable. In my browser it takes 39 http requests and 1MB of data transfer to view the page. If I were to disable RequestPolicy however, due to all the extra pointless crap the site wants to load those numbers would increase to 86 requests and 2.3MB.
