I've looked thru the faq but did not see anything. I really hope this not a dumb question.
At the bottom of the screen, on one website, I have a display like:
Scripts partially allowed 5/9 (yada, yada, yada) | <SCRIPT>: 62 | <OBJECT>: 1
How do I interpret this? As I read it, there are 9 total scripts, of which 5 are allowed. Is that right? What is the second figure (SCRIPT) of "62" mean? What is an OBJECT?

No. It means there are 9 total sites that NoScript thinks could be trying to run scripts, of which 5 are allowed.

I believe SCRIPT: 62 means there are 62 script tags not running (forbidden by NoScript).
An OBJECT is an HTML <object> tag, which is... well, it could be anything, but usually it's a thing that requires a plugin to display.

Thanks for the response. One more newbie question please.
The term "script tag" -- is this an inactive "code stub" on this particular website? If I go to newsblok dot com, I get a "SCRIPT" value of 179. Kinda bizarre.....
