Huh, I don't use NoScript. And Ghostery, for me, displays the 
information where the video would be which tracker demands that you 
allow it to track you. I get my back up and refuse to see the video 
usually, unless I REALLY have to watch it. Ghostery will allow you to 
"always make an exception" or "one time only". It's slick! You can train 
it. Ric
