Noscript or Umatrix?
- dredmorbius 9y agoNeither of those are an option on Chrome/Android, and I don't think they apply on Firefox/Android (not sure about disabling JS). Firefox does offer uBlock, at least, which is a massive relief. I also run (on the router) a large, and after significant modularisation by me, flexible dnsmasq blocklist that addresses another large set of issues. On desktop (Linux, MacOS), I have and use: NoScript, uBlock, uMatrix, and Stylish, as well as Reader Mode. It's still often less aggrevating to grab source or rendered text and create a standalone Markdown text, for various reasons. I'm looking into the notion of a browsing mode that presumes the website designer is an idiot and that the HTML markup is at best a hint at what the semantic structure ought to be -- see concepts such as POSH (Plain Old Structural HTML), and ... a few other things. Work in (very slow) progress.
- digi_owl 9y agoCould have sworn i have seen a version of Noscript that worked with Firefox on Android.
- dredmorbius 9y agoChecking: there are multiple javascript toggles, but not "Noscript" specifically AFAICT. "NJS" seems to be among the closest to that. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/search/?q=javascript https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/search/?q=javascrip...
- digi_owl 9y agoAh, it never went beyond the alpha stage. https://noscript.net/nsa/ https://noscript.net/nsa/ Only reason i bumped into it was because i was toying with Tor for Android, and their fork(?) of Firefox had it bundled.
