What is the purpose of Mark as Untrusted?

[badger]

I don't understand what Mark as Untrusted is for. I get what it *does* but it seems unnecessary since NoScript already blocks everything. It seems the only purpose would be if you are allowing scripts globally and then wish to block individual sites one-by-one. Is that something people do?

The point is not only as you said to blacklist scripts from automatically being Allowed but also to reduce menu clutter - if there are sites you never want to Allow, you can thus get them out of the way.

As well as global allow, there is cascade mode; Untrusted is useful there too.

And Google Analytics is a special case; if marked as untrusted, then all requests to it are blocked, not just active content.
