Since trying this add on I have been able to drop both NoScript and Adblock Plus with do noticeable detriment and a significant increase in speed.
I love the fact that I can see exactly what each website is trying to do and the whitelisting is far less intrusive than NoScript.
I am usually happy for locally hosted scripts to run - this add on enables me to block 3rd party scripts while minimising site breakage. Thanks!

Minor buglet: there appears to be a timing issue with some websites: on the first visit, no scripts seem to run (it looks like it's even blocked the StyleSheet), but on the second visit (or following a refresh), the web page is displayed correctly.
