JSView, if you want to peek under the hood, even at the names of the dozens or hundreds of scripts that can load under a single Allowed (or Temp-) site or source.
You do know that NoScript also offers Meta redirect control? NS Options > Advanced > Untrusted > check Forbid META etc.

Don't you need cookies enabled at some sites for them to work? Your online bank, say?
OS:
Router = DD-WRT
[*]
- TOR + Vidalia
Hostfiles blacklist (winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm)
Sandboxed/VM/jailed executables (Sandboxie + VMware)
No administrator/root privileges
Spoofed MAC address (immunity for fingerprints)
ALL ports blocks except 80:443:53
Disabled IPv6
What adjustments are recommended to the most popular HOSTS services, including that one (which I too use).
Disable Universal Plug and Play in the router admin interface.
Disable remote administration (from the Web), unless you really need to access your router's admin GUI from a hotel room somewhere.
Require an HTTPS connection to the router interface, especially if it has wireless capability.
If there is a "Firewall" or similar page in the router GUI, check all there: Block anonymous Net requests, filter IDENT, filter Multicast -- unless you somehow need these.
Disable passthoughs of IPSEC, PPTP, and L2TP -- again, unless you use one of these.
Disable SSID broadcast, although some cast (ha!) doubt on how much that really accomplishes.
Of course, crypto-strength password *to access router*, and, if a wireless connection, crypto-strength key. (AT LEAST 15-20 characters, u/l case, digits, keyboard chars @#$%^&**( etc, NO words found in a dictionary, or close variants thereof.
Be aware that sometimes,
alternate ports are used.
But add the ABE rule given by Giorgio there.

If a three-letter agency wants you badly enough, they'll get you -- via your ISP, implanting a key-logger while you're not there, etc.
May come back and edit/add things at other times, as they occur to me. Enough for now.
Cheers.
