Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 It is possible to implement a modified security slider mechanism that
 would allow NoScript to retain per-site settings. But the question is
 whether it is actually desirable to do this, as saving per-site settings
 would (1) violate disk hygiene and (2) serve as a long-term fingerprinting
 vulnerability (at least, as long as NoScript is not first-party isolated).
