Noscript 10.1.1 and accounts.google.com issue

I have been using Google Chrome which allows one to block javascript on a site to site basis. This came in handy when Google decided to do away with the Keep Me Logged In option on their login screen and switched over to always keeping you logged into Google unless you specifically used the Logout function iin Google account. If one blocked Javascript on accounts.google.com it will force Google to use the older style login page which gives back the option to autologout if the browser is closed.

I tried to use NoScript and set accounts.google.com to untrusted but instead of seeing the older style login page with rectangular input fields I am still seeing the current login screen. Is the blocking of Javascript not possible on accounts.google.com to force Google to revert back to the older style login screen?

May I suggest a more robust solution, such as only allowing cookies for the current session?

The issue with doing that is that it will also throw out my 2 Factor Authentication code cookie which I have told it to trust a particular computer. The result is that every time I log into my Google accounts on that machine I have to enter the 2FA code plus username and password.
