    NoScript works by removing the vector of many identification techniques, by disabling Javascript. However, it can also make your browsing experience painful if you are expecting dynamic look and feel in websites that are enabled by Javascript (you can whitelist, but how effective that is, depends on your browsing habits). Secondly, it does not eliminate all bits of identification.

I have found that it basically neuters all the prevalent web2.0 bullshit that everyone pretends to love but secretly hates unless it is executed perfectly.
