On my personal machines, I use µBlock (I'll always call it that, not uBlock …) Origin and NoScript, and only disable NoScript when I really, really want to read a page which is so broken that it requires JavaScript to even display. Normally, I don't bother: people who break the Web don't really deserve to have their words read.
On work machines, I use µBlock origin and NoScript, but with NoScript set in blacklist mode, so almost all sites run JavaScript.
In this manner I reach what I consider pragmatic tradeoffs.
I'll admit though that I am absolutely, completely livid at the continued destruction of the Web's ideals by JavaScript. The Web is about documents, not executables!
- rsync 11y agoThis is the real ublock origin: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm?hl=en https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpa... correct ? I am always wary that there is some clone project out there that hijacks the original intent of ublock and is somehow name-camping on some derivative of "ublock origin". That's the correct add-on in the google chrome store, yes ?
- luxpir 11y agoThat + uMatrix (using the u, not the mu, because I'm a human and actually want this tech to proliferate...) are made by gorhill - see the 'Related' tab on the Chrome store link you gave, 'Same developer' and you'll find uMatrix. ublock-origin is the cut-down, simplified version, uMatrix is the 'power user' version, giving more finely grained control over what's blocked. zeveb: you should probably just use uMatrix. Less memory consumption and deduplication of tasks. Not to mention the shady noscript under-the-table deals.
