This keeps any cross-site scripting or any scripting from happening that you don't authorize. It takes a few days to setup your "white list" (approved sites) as you proceed with your normal browsing routines, but it's amazing. Plus you can temporarily approve sites then revoke the permissions when you are done. I see very few ads now. Maybe 5% or what the normal person might see on the web.
