[Unrelated] Why Does NoScript Add Cookies to My Browser?
Why does NoScript add a long list of cookies to my Firefox browser? Are they required for NoScript to operate properly? If I delete all the cookies, they immediately return.

That's not from NoScript; sounds like the TACO/Abine addon.

Thrawn, you're absolutely right. I was working with NoScript at the time and jumped to the conclusion. Abine says they're "opt-out" cookies and prevent tracking rather than enable it. Note to Self: Next time, not so fast.
