Using NoScript to selectively block JavaScript across all websites has opened my eyes to the sewers we wade through online (midwest.social)

This comment encouraging me to try out NoScript Security Suite (Firefox) changed my life. googletagmanager is used everywhere!

You can already block all js and give specific allowances through uBO. Having both uBO and NoScript is redundant, just FYI

@ISOmorph @Powderhorn Please explain how, when #uBlockOrigin works based on blocklisting while #noScript uses allowlisting?

[–] normplum@fosstodon.org 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

@opensourceopenmind @ISOmorph @Powderhorn You can use #uBlockOrigin in Medium or Hard mode, which blocks all 3rd-party scripts, frames, etc. by default except for those you specifically allow:

@normplum @ISOmorph @Powderhorn Thanks, will give it a try and see if it can replace noScript.
