In the cat and mouse game between web sites and blockers, the new script tag filter is a welcomed new tool on the user side, to foil attempt by site to work around blockers.
The big advantage of this new filter is that it can fix many of the anti-blocker workarounds web sites use at the _source_.
For example, the web site at `http://focus.de/` will resort to deface itself with ridiculous ads when the site detects that the user is using a blocker, and using _EasyList_ + _EasyList Germany_ does not work. Wholesale blocking of inline scripts does prevent the auto-defacing, but possibly at the cost of using useful functionalities. However, a script tag filter to block the specific inline script tag which contains the self-defacement javascript code allows a more targeted approach: prevent the undesirable inlibe javascript code from executing while keeping the desirable inline javascript code intact.
