I've never understood the need for NoScript. Most web pages now use lots and lots of JavaScript. Part of the reason Chrome is great is because it does JavaScript better. Who would want to turn it off? Firefox already has functionality to prevent JavaScript from doing stupid shit like pop-ups and status/title bar changes. What else do you need?
Something against cross site scripting for instance? Also, general security, faster load times, no running of resource intensive and badly coded JavaScript without permission, no annoyances whatsoever, and of course paranoia. I don't need or want a third party website to spy on my activities on the internet. As for sites that have use lots and lots of JavaScript, they suck. You don't need your website to consist for 90+% out of JavaScript, you also should not be using JavaScript to make links work, you also shouldn't make your site generally unusable due to the lack of JavaScript. In other words, if I cannot use the basics of a website when NoScript is blocking the scripts, I often just leave and forget about it.

Solution, don't visit shitty web sites. Find me one useful site that is worth visiting that does stupid shit like this. Yes, there are shitty sites out there. But why do you need to protect yourself from them if you aren't visiting them in the first place? If you are visiting them, why?
Also, cross site scripting usually is something that the webmaster has to protect against. It hurts them more than it hurts you.

I like to just browse around the internet looking for cool stuff. I cannot see before going to a site if it's shitty or not.

I agree with Scott on this one. I heard a lot of good about No Script about a year ago, tried it, didn't see a point (and found it annoying that I had to whitelist stuff that used JavaScript properly), and uninstalled it.
It uses Web Kit, technology developed by Apple, just saying.
And Trolltech, and Adobe, and Nokia, and Google. Also should be mentioned, the KDE development team, seeing as Apple derived Webkit from Konquerer libraries, which is Open Source Software. One, give credit where credit is due if you want to brag, two, hmmmm, Apple using Open Source Software libraries as base for their derived technology.
This ad blocker is currently better than adblock. I switched to it after getting fed up with adblock. Also, there is some issue with ads flashing briefly then disappearing. Apart from the visual nuisance this may be an issue for people who dislike tracking pixels, since Chrome doesn't allow for extensions to prevent loading content.
Is there a way to have Google Chrome open up links to the apps you created? For example you click on a YouTube link and instead of having that link open up a tab. The link instead opens up the YouTube app you made?
