What are you trying to do with this PR?
Exclude content in
<noscript>tags from appearing in URL preview descriptions when there is noog:descriptionmeta tag on the page behind said URL.Why are you going with this approach?
Most websites use
<noscript>tags to display a message along the lines of "JavaScript is required to view this page. Please enable JavaScript and try again.". Since such a tag is usually the first child of the<body>element, Synapse picks up these words to approximate the page preview description. By excluding<noscript>tags, Synapse is more likely to end up using words that are actually relevant to the page content.
