Just block JavaScript

Then the entire browser becomes useless. I couldn't even post this comment without JavaScript.

Edit: I wish a search engine that only showed websites without JavaScript existed.

Umatrix is great, you can configure it to automatically allow first party javascript, and if sites still dont work eneable bits until they do them lock those settings so the same bits will be enabled next time you're on that site.

You can do that with NoScript too. Is the Umatrix UI any better, or are there other benefits?

noscript is like a screwdriver. umatrix is the whole toolbox.

both have their place

I wish also that THAT search engine also made it so turning on results that have paywalls is a thing you can only have turned on if YOU turn it on

Duckduckgo has a no javascript mode.

Not useless. I don't use JS. Yeah. Maybe 1/10 websites you have to skip.

How do you even post here without JavaScript?

[–] delirious_owl@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago

I use an app, but Im sure one of the front ends doesn't require JS
