It's stupid things like this that makes browsing the modern web a nightmare. I HATE having to turn off NoScript and swap out my ad-blocking HOSTS file just because idiot webmasters are too damned lazy to host their own content, or are trying to m o n e t i z e the whole bloody web so they can make a freaking buck instead of supplying information. And the bigger the company, the bigger the crapfest that are their web sites.
Two words: lazy programmers. Or maybe it's: cheap employers.
So many just latch onto framework-de-jour which won't even show a single thing on the page unless you have js on.
I too use noscript on everything, though lately it's more of a blacklist than a white-list, as I have all the hardcore tracker sites (and the borg) untrusted, but often do the "set all on page to temp trusted" dance of 1-3 iterations until something becomes useful (which WON'T override the untrusted, thankfully).
