If the Google+ Like button appeared on anywhere near as many sites as Facebook, I'd be concerned about Google too.

I'm kind of surprised NoScript doesn't have an option of disabling scripts on a site-by-site basis. Ergo, if I have two tabs open, Google+ and some other page containing a Google+ Like button, I should be able to enable Google scripts on only the Google+ page. As it stands, when a script from a domain is enabled, it is enabled for any and all tabs you have open. I think that behavior can be improved.

I agree this would be a nice feature to have.

In the meantime, you can use the RequestPolicy add-on in order to block cross-domain requests to G+ in your other tabs. In this case, NoScript won't even be needed because the script won't be loaded at all.

I'd guess that Google Analytics and Google Adsense exist on more websites than Facebook like buttons, and they pose the exact same threat.
Touche!
you,re forgetting about google adsense. google has been tracking you across the internets before fb even existed.
