A minor thing - the factorio.com logout link does not work for me.
I am not 100% sure, that some logout-vital javascript is not blocked, though.

That is very well possible. The logout link actually uses javascript because it sends the logout via post method.

It might be a NoScript incompatibility, then.
It seems that it's anti-JS-link feature converted itto <a data-method="post" href="/logout">log out</a>
If there were no data expected as payload, it should work.

What the JS does is that when logout is clicked it creates a form to the same url that is send with a POST method. Regular links allow only GET. Using POST for actions that change something (like logout) is supposed to be a good practice. For instance some browsers might "prefetch" links on the webpage resulting to frequent unintended logouts.
