I installed flash/java blockers when I was worried about vulnerabilities in those plug-ins, later removing those plug-ins entirely.
You should not install an ad-blocker if you really want a flash/java blocker. You'll still be vulnerable.
(Yes, there have been vulnerabilities in JS et al too, but blocking JS is a very different proposition.)
- distances 10y agoI selectively block JS, with uMatrix. I allow 1st party scripts by default, and block all else by default. Yes it's a bit tedious to enable domains when something breaks, but I'm actually fine with that. Would of course not recommend this to just anyone.
