Hi,

Is it possible to request an ajax.googleapis.com surrogate that would allow http://www.frys.com/ads/view-all-store-ads to function without allowing the ajax.googleapis.com script to run? I noticed user thunderscript created a Microsoft one recently, viewtopic.php?f=26&t=20455, so I was curious if some knowledgeable person might be able to do the same for this.

Thanks.

... er.. that's one script, which is only an entire jquery library... that's not suitable for a default NoScript surrogate...

Anyway, see if this works?
1) download this script http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/j ... 9.1.min.js
2) go to about:config
right-click > new > string
name: noscript.surrogate.gjq191.replacement
value: file URL pointing to the script downloaded in (1)
3) also in about:config
right-click > new > string
name: noscript.surrogate.gjq191.sources
value: ^https?://ajax\.googleapis\.com/.*[^0-9A-Za-z]1\.9\.1[^0-9A-Za-z].*jquery\.min\.js

Thank you barbaz for the thoughtful and detailed response. Very helpful.

Actually the minified JQuery 1.11.2 is only 95.9KB uncompressed (about 35KB compressed), and there's potential to re-use it as a surrogate in lots of places, so I don't think it's entirely unreasonable.

It could even make some sites safer by providing a forced JQuery upgrade
