Or use http://prefbar.mozdev.org/ in Firefox or Mozilla.
This gives you an extra bar where you can switch on/off
Java, JavaScript, pop-ups, images, colors, referer-transmission
and many more each with a single click.

Cool, I recall using an earlier version. The newer version looks much upgraded. I don't like too many bars though as they eat up valuable screen real-estate.
NoScript is nice as it maintains a white-list of sites that you gradually add to as you go along, and JS remains off by default. You can also turn on JS temporarily as you need.
There is no shortage of good extensions for Mozilla based browsers.

I just found out about NoScript this week, and i tried it last night at home. It made a LOT of pages look like absolute crap, and even whitelisting those sites did not change this. It also seems to be single threaded, which means that opening 20 tabs at once is problematic.
Is anyone else having these problems with NoScript, or should i be looking somewhere else for the issue? (I'm running the latest etch version of Firefox on a mixed sarge/etch system.)

It is true that many sites are very poorly designed and don't function without JS enabled. However I have not experienced problems in accessing sites once the site has been whitelisted. Perhapse you should subit this as a bug.
I don't know about the load it places on the box. On my Etch box it seems to be okay. On work's Windows boxes - much inferior machines to my personal system - NoScript seems to be okay. While I often have many tabs open, I don't open many tabs at once, so I don't know if it would an issue.
I find using NoScript great, but it's not suitable for non-technical users, who would find the surfing to confusing with it. Actually you could argue that non-technical users shouldn't be allowed on the Internet at all - but that's another argument for another day...
