It's NoScript+interested+StumbleUpon. Is StumbleUpon a good way of promoting things? I bet that there is negative correlation between NoScript & StumbleUpon.

Anyhow, JGW's first claim, that it is a terrible failure mode to produce a blank screen in the absence of js, is true and very cheap to fix.

Nitpick: Such a negative correlation between two Firefox extensions probably only persists in the set of Firefox users, not over Internet users at large, since (inexplicably) Firefox is not overwhelmingly popular among Internet users in general. (It's possible that it is overwhelmingly popular in the set of people interested in this program, though.)
