Just to add to the others comments, get NoScript and you can control exactly who gets to run Javascript at all times. It makes the internet so much safer and you will be blown away at how many domains some sites are trying to run scripts from.
- necessity 10y agoBy the way, isn't there a way to do this on Firefox itself? It would be an interesting option along with "don't accept cookies; exceptions".
- tunap 10y agoGotta 2nd NoScript for blocking all detritus from wasting my data caps & cpu cycles, although the default white-list needs much purging out of the box. For added goodness, I also run the Blender Add-On[1] for the sites I do allow on occasion. I value my privacy <b>MORE</b> than the marketeers do.

- angry-hacker 10y agoNoscript is harmful, the dev sold out and showed Spyware ads on its own noscript website! Noscript didn't block it btw. Change user agent to Windows and visit the site, see uf it's still up. You can't trust noscript.
- beagle3 10y agouMatrix (from gorhill=Raymond Hill, of uBlock Origin fame) is extremely useful. I haven't used NoScript in 5 years or so, so things might have changed - but compared to what I remember, uMatrix is no less capable (in fact, more capable), and much easier to use -- though sadly, still not at a level that a non-techie will use.
