Goodness gracious, I hadn't realised adverts had gotten that bad again. You'd think with the ever-increasing backlash against web site advertisement they'd balk at such behaviour on their web site.

- bad_user 10y agoIn the past I was against ad-blockers, thinking that websites need a business model to survive and that subscriptions can't work for everyone. But this has turned into a serious assault on privacy. So nowadays I have uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, the "Tracking Protection" in Firefox enabled by default and I'm seriously considering NoScript, too bad it wasn't available for Firefox Android last time I checked.
- Yxogenium 10y agoFor your information you can get the Firefox for Android NoScript porting with the cheeky (but somewhat relevant) name NoScript Anywhere++ (NSA++) here: https://noscript.net/nsa/ https://noscript.net/nsa/ It's quite experimental, the UI isn't great if you have a small phone but it works.
- beagle3 10y agoWhat do privacy badger and tracking protection provide that uBlock Origin doesn't?
- JeremyNT 10y agoYou can replicate much of the behavior of noscript by using the advanced mode of uBlock Origin and setting third party scripts to default deny. The UI is cumbersome for this on Firefox Mobile, but it does work.
- Mister_Snuggles 10y agoI started using NoScript because my poor i3-powered laptop simply can't browse a lot of sites and maintain acceptable performance otherwise. Installing NoScript made the computer feel 10x faster.
