It's actually very *common* - for scripts in particular, with advertising
and analytics services being the most obvious examples.
You *might* find blocking such things results in a speed gain from NetSurf
on some sites (it depends on a number of factors), and/or you might find the
resulting pages are less cluttered and easier to read.
(TBH, I'm not yet using RISC OS / NetSurf enough [yet] to be able to do
anything more than suggest it as an untested possibility.)
