NoScript, my friend! Sadly no good solution for mobile.

What's wrong with NoScript on mobile? Just breaks too many sites?

  Parent is likely talking about Chrome since it doesn't support extensions. Firefox on Android can use NoScript, uBlock or what have you without missing a beat.

      Just getting a new phone set up with what I want. So, hadn't looked for it, previously. By viewing the addons.mozilla.org NoScript entry and then clicking on "View All Versions", I was able to find a mobile (NSA) version in the version history. I started with that, as I'm leery of installing from third parties until I have some confidence that the source is authentic and uncompromised. I'd appreciate some feedback on the current thinking / best practice for installing NoScript (Anywhere?) on Firefox mobile (on Android 6).

    No, I use Firefox. I just find NoScript on mobile to be way too much of a pain to use, so I don't think of it as a "good" solution. Maybe they've updated in their UI since I tried it a year or two again?

I ran into a site (tweaktown) recently that redirects you to an ad-blocker shame page if you block ads (they try to circumvent, though) or disable javascript (meta refresh wrapped in a noscript tag).

  Thank god that NoScript has an option to catch those redirects. Whenever I see them the page has rendered just fine without needing to anything special for the script-less.

  Yeah I see a fair amount of adblock-shaming on a routine basis now. How many of these beggars turn around and speak ill of homeless people begging on the street?

    I love the Forbes.com one that said I should disable ad-block for a better experience - an experience they just made worse by preventing me from reading whatever half-assed article their editor approved.
