Let me turn off Javascript more easily. And back on again easily. I usually need it gone for like 5 seconds, and then I need it back on, each of which is one key and one click in Safari and an entire journey to the moon and back in Firefox.
- NegativeLatency 8y agoIt would be cool if I could enable js on a per site basis
- irrational 8y agoYou can with NoScript.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoUnlock Origin in advanced mode can do it, so can Noscript.
- Drdrdrq 8y agoOne word: uMatrix. NoScript lacks control on per-site basis, but is still ok.
- paulryanrogers 8y agoIIRC, Noscript had per-domain JS controls before Umatrix existed.
- squarefoot 8y agoBut lacked fine grained control, at least the last time I used it. With uMatrix I can tell the browser to disable something (cookies/script/frames/media etc.) here but keep it enabled else/everywhere and the other way around. It gives the finest possible control but of course requires some time to whitelist the good stuff on new pages. A minor annoyance compared to the control it offers.
- matheusmoreira 8y agoI wish it allowed for even finer control, though. What if it could prevent one specific function from running? Or replace tracking functions with no-op ones? Or hook into HTTP APIs in order to let you audit, modify or interrupt communications?
- Drdrdrq 8y agoI guess you could use GreaseMonkey for that, though I can't imagine how you could keep track of everything. Might be useful for smallish modifications though.
- staticassertion 8y agoYeah, noscript is pretty powerful. The biggest difference between the two, in my experience, is UX. uMatrix is the best UX for a content blocker I've ever seen - very intuitive and simple.
- BrandonMarc 8y agoNoScript add-on is fantastic.
- auslander 8y ago> enable js on a per site basis uBlock Origin, check I'm advanced, block whatever you want per site, click save button
- some_account 8y agoThere are plugins for almost anything in Firefox. Did you try any of them for this purpose, like this one for example : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-javascript/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-javas...
- woodrowbarlow 8y agothe problem with using a plugin for something like this is that as soon as the plugin becomes popular enough, a third party purchases it from the original developer and adds a bunch of telemetry. stylish is a recent high-profile example, but it happens to small, benign-looking extensions even more often. the problem has gotten so bad that i no longer use the plugin "store". i only install plugins that are open source, and only by building the source myself... meaning i miss out on automatic updates (but at least i know my plugin isn't spyware!). it sucks.
- nsomaru 8y agoIt is also difficult to see which extensions have been granted what permissions. Right now I’m sticking with known extensions but maybe I should be compiling my own
- birdman3131 8y agoThere used to be plugins for almost anything. Then most of the powerful ones were kneecapped because of some bad actors. The new system is a joke.
- some_account 8y agoI don't know, I kind of like it. I was writing a simple webextension within hours. Good tutorials etc. New api functions are coming all the time as well. Its not yet as powerful as the old system but is there any reason to believe it will never be?

- 4ad 8y ago> each of which is one key and one click in Safari Safari user here. Which key and which click is that?
- natch 8y agoKey combo Cmd-, (That’s command comma. Which I described as one key, cheating slightly, but hey they are so close to each other.) Preferences panel comes up. If you leave it on the security tab, the checkbox comes up. Uncheck it and now the site is usable without JS. Another click on background or Esc to dismiss the dialog if you want to, but for some things that’s not even needed (therefore I claimed that low click count... ymmv).
- HSO 8y agoEnable the developer menu in Safari and assign a keyboard shortcut to the JS item. Done :-)
- natch 8y agoThe Develop menu in Safari helps enable keyboard shortcuts that can be used in Firefox? Please say more.
- westmeal 8y agoVouching for uMatrix here it's super useful
