What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Going to CNN.com and seeing that there's only one server to unblock.
2. Using NoScript for Firefox on CNN.com and finding there's 9 servers to 
unblock.
3. I'm finding that this is the case on most news websites and many other 
websites, where ScriptBlock is only blocking the scripts from ONE server 
instead of often a dozen or more.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see as many servers to unblock as on NoScript for Firefox.  If I 
can't block scripts from all those servers and everything just goes through 
because there's only one server to unblock, what good is this extension?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.0?

I think this might just be a UI difference.  Temporarily enabling scripts for 
cnn.com in Chrome runs the scripts for the TLD and opens up additional domains 
as being blocked.  Probably the TLD block is preventing the other scripts from 
even attempting to run, so they aren't seen by ScriptBlock as candidates to 
block.  NoScript might just have better "what could potentially be unblocked" 
detection.

Hard to say, though, without understanding how each extension actually works.
