Any good alternatives for NoScript?
- angry-hacker 10y agoUsually, people suggest uMatrix. But it's a lot more than just NoScript and probably takes longer to make it work the way you want. In general, it gives you total control what your browser is doing.
- yamalight 10y agouMatrix is amazing, but does takes more time to set up. It pays off though - page load times and page sizes are on average ~50% less.
- brerlapn 10y agouMatrix looks heavy duty but effective. I'd never heard of it before--it looks like it could replace my user-string randomizer extension as well as Noscript and uBlock, which makes it worth a strong look. I've already found some tutorials that make it look a little less intimidating. An upvote didn't seem like enough of a thank you for posting.
- herbst 10y agoFor what most people use NoScript a simple uBlock should already do the job.
- rrss1122 10y agoIf you just want to block javascript and you use Chrome, you can use the dev tools. Open dev tools, click the three-bullets menu icon, click settings, then in General click Disable Javascript. You don't get a whitelist, but it's something.
- vorotato 10y agoActually you can whitelist. Right click the lock next to the url you want to whitelist, you'll see all KINDS of things to allow or block.
- brerlapn 10y agoScriptSafe for Chrome. DisConnect or Ghostery maybe? Not quite the same, but they do break web pages just as well as NoScript. :) I'm hoping someone else posts some reasonably user-friendly alternatives. Adblockers can be manageable for technically less-savvy users, but I'd never have considered putting NoScript or even Disconnect on my parents' computers for fear of how often I'd get help desk calls from them.
