I didn't know my ISP was in control of my address bar. I have no interest in having my ISP control my address bar. I pay for my ISP to connect me to the Internet. Where do they get off thinking they deserve anything more than my monthly payment? I found the sentence on the Barefruit site “putting ISPs back in control of users’ address bars” most disturbing.

What you lose (in having to spend a very small amount of time configuring noscript to whitelist sites) is tiny, tiny, tiny, compared to the joy of being protected against cross-site scripting attacks. Two thumbs up! @Jim:

You'll still see the Barefruit page, but it (and other pages like it) won't be able to do anything unless you allow it to. Just use Firefox with the NoScript extension.
