When noscript ndicates some blocked urls on a page because I haven't yet white- or black-listed them, my general practice is to visit the home page of the blocked link in order to find out what it is and whether I want to add it to the trusted or untrusted list. Right now, this means I have to manually open a new tab and type the domain name of the given site into the address bar. It would be great if a single click somewhere in the noscript popup did this for me.

[EnhReq] Open links to check site
I often find myself opening a new tab and manually typing in an address that noscript is asking me about if I am not sure what it is. I try to only block marketing and advertising sites so I take the time to check so I don't disable a useful feature on the website. It would be incredible if you could have an option to open the site in a new tab from the noscript menu itself. Whether it be a new menu option under each address of a right click function maybe?
Thanks for taking the time to read.

Re: [EnhReq] Open links to check site
Opening the site itself might be dangerous, if it is a malicious site. Better to search for the site in Google, WOT, Site Advisor, or other services that try to help you make those decisions.
I apologize that this went unanswered for so long.
