I wouldn't consider it bare minimum. Most of the web is broken with NoScript installed.

#63Who else feels a sense of horrible dread and frustration that every minutiae of my (and your) online activity is recorded for eternity and exploited to the fullest extent? What are you going to do about it?

I didn't know Austrians have Dutch accents.
Where are you all getting Dutch from? He sounds generic Euro speaking English to me.

Horrible dread? Can't say I do. If I get a relevant ad from a keyword in my email, that seems like a pretty minor event in my life.
Regarding that "minor event": it is minor in isolation, but the point is that you are generating a large amount of those events that are being aggregated into databases where they are unlikely to be deleted. The ad(s) you might get isn't important. What you should be concerned about is the detailed pattern-of-life analysis that can be done at any time in the future by anybody that buys a copy of that database.
