> The modern Internet MUST have Javascript. So when you use NoScript, you’re breaking the Internet. All the Javascript, Flash, Webfonts, etc are breaking MY Internet. Why should I let everyone send executable code to my browser?

I'm sure you are looking at more than just URLs. Say you have a lead form with two fields, email and zip code. You would store a variety of data points besides those two. Referring URL, IP address, useragent, etc. If you just hash everythin
