The point is to white list scripting on websites . It allows faster browsing, lessens CPU load and memory consumption and save battery life on mobile and laptop. Most websites do not need javascript to be turned on to be browsed.
- baby 11y agoI just did it. And woosh browsing is fast, I had forgotten that part. But then I remembered why I uninstalled it. On every site I visit I have to go through the list of scripts to allow until I can browse correctly.
- JeremyNT 11y agoYou really, really need to try uBlock Origin for script blocking instead of Noscript. Enable advanced mode and default deny third party scripts. The UI (once you understand it) is better for almost every use case, except for blocking individual scripts rather than domains.
- baby 11y agoI'm already using it, I figured noscript would be better for security though (in general, XSS can appear from anywhere, not just ads)
- JeremyNT 11y agouBlock Origin has many more capabilities that can be found in the advanced options[0], and you can configure blocking of third party content in general that "stacks" with the default ad blocking behavior. I have uBlock Origin configured to disable all javascript by default, for example, and when I do need to enable javascript I find the uBlock interface makes it (relatively) easy to get sites working.
