Oh yay. I haven't unlimbered my pedantic muscles in a long time.

"Cybortion"? That's funny, but its more like a process-prophylactic since it prevents something from starting instead of ending something already begun.

While we're on the subject of funny usage, why are y'all getting exercised about "kill" being inappropriate for describing the stopping, but no eyelash is batted when "execute" is used to describe go, run, activate?

NoScript provides extra protection for your Mozilla Firefox browser: this extension allows JavaScript execution only for trusted domains of your choice (e.g. your home-banking web site).

This whitelist based pre-emptive script blocking approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and even not known yet!) with no loss of functionality...

You can enable JavaScript execution for sites you trust with a simple left-click on the NoScript status bar icon (look at the picture), or using the contextual menu, for easier operation in popup statusbar-less dialog.

Staying safe has never been so easy!. Experts will agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript :-)
(bold mine) ...yeah. Pro(cess)phylactic.
