Plus 1 from me.

Same here, I often use it then forget to switch verification back on.
Rather than a novs command, I'd rather have the novs configuration directive
and a command to reload the config file (possibly without running the init
function) without restarting the browser.
There's been a number of times I've wanted to do this, nojs, proxy settings,
adding functions which I then want to run  etc. Obviously this is a big feature potentially,
but I think it'd be worth doing.  I'd be willing to invest some time in this if anyone else wants it.

Cheers,
Adam.
