Thank you.
It seems not usable without running JavaScript.
I have reservations about all browser addons, especially since the NoScript scandal.

Unless you vet the addon code, addon developers are just another group of people you have to trust, another potential source of hostile software, and addons are an even greater privacy risk than desktop software because web browsers aren't isolated from the Internet.
I'm curious about the advantage this addon has over a bookmark or a link manually added to the browser's list of search engines.
Given adblock plus's acceptable ad policy being on by default following sometime after, I don't think poorly of noscript.
Yes that was bad, but by comparison, I feel like noscript is miles better in todays world then adblock plus.
I assume you were talking about adblock plus, right?
I wasn't talking about adblock at all. Noscript is the only addon I mentioned.
You mentioned this:

That very likely was adblock plus noscript was meddling with.
