I don't know if I'm just dense, or if I'm using NoScript "incorrectly," but I find that I usually mark all the entries as Untrusted except for the domain I initially connected to . . . then, I see what's not working and trust the sites that ultimately make the parts of the site work. So, I spend a lot of time selecting Untrusted sites - is there a way to make this more of a default action? Or am I not using NoScript properly?

Well, you could check "Temporally enable top-sites per default" in the General tab in the NoScript options. And I would generally just put entries in the Untrusted list that I might also find on other sites like domains from data mining, surveying or ad services.

All sites are "untusted" (as in not allowed) by default (except for those in the default Allow list).
So in that respect, if you don't specifically Allow a domain, then you need not necessarily worry about it either.

The Untusted can serve a couple of purposes IMO; either to "clean up" your domain listings (which is really just a cosmetic thing), or if you can reason to specifically want to exclude a particular domain such that if you happened upon it at a later time, you wouldn't have to say, oh do I want to allow this one or not?
