I been playing with this add-on and watched some videos on it.  While it
does some things better, it just isn't specific enough for what I need. 
In some cases, if I blocked scripts with it, some sites wouldn't work at
all or caused other issues. In a way it's better than noscript but it
still just doesn't go far enough.  I wish adblock would list elements
the way it used to.  That worked great because I could block scripts on
a individual basis.  Allow the ones I need and block the ones that cause
issues. 

Thanks for the info.  It was worth a try at least.
