One of the (many) advantages I prefer in using NoScript is that it allows me to handle multiple problems in one place, so that I can do away with having other Add-ins with redundant purposes. In one particular case, I am trying to figure out whether I can use NoScript to accomplish what one of them, named "RequestPolicy", is intended to do. It seems like there is some overlap in their purpose, and if I can eliminate "RequestPolicy" altogether by making a setting in the NoScript add-in accomplish the task, I would prefer to use it in this way. I was wondering whether anyone else has previously made use of this add-in but then determined whether NoScript is suitable for the same task? I would welcome any thoughts along these lines, and I am "really" hoping no to elicit any flame war one way or another. Thanks.

RequestPolicy has functionality not in NoScript (i.e. redirection blocking) and vice versa. You can replace some (most?) of RP with ABE, but it's going to be a lot less convenient - that is, until Thrawn makes a lot more progress on this...

(Disclaimer: I don't use RequestPolicy so this response is likely not comprehensive)

Thanks for the follow-up, barbaz, and the additional link too. It is good information.
