Surrogates. The arms race is going on more than one front. From what I understand, on sites that use returns from ad-tracking scripts like google-analytics or yieldmanager to block access, NoScript has the ability to run surrogate scripts that give the appropriate return without the ad-tracking. This seems non-trivial.
However, now knowing how embroiled the author of NoScript is in getting his own ads viewed, users may lose their trust in his surrogate scripts.
