 describes a way to trigger NoScript's XSS warning reliably:
 {{{
 Whenever I search a term using the right click->"Search for *", it goes to
 the disconnect search page and NoScript gives error "NoScript filtered a
 potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attempt from [chrome]. Technical
 details have been logged ..."
 }}}
 This does not happen with other search engines, like the one Google
 provides.
