If you want more granularity I’d suggest giving uMatrix a try. You’ll basically break every site at first and have to make adjustments for every site you visit (whitelist certain Ressourcen on a per domain basis) but I think it’s well worth it.
NoScript (which is totally fine) just blocks all JS, uMatrix can block much more.
- shpx 8y agoNoScript lets you whitelist sites. Chrome's built in Javascript blocking is about as usable. Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Content Settings -> Javascript and then change "Allowed" to off. You can white list a domain by clicking on the padlock or the thing that says "Not Secure" in the URL bar on the left and clicking "Site settings" and changing Javascript to Allowed. In my opinion, the only real effect JS blocking has is you start complaining in HN comments about sites not working.
- jammygit 8y agoI found umatrix required me to turn so many things on for the average site that I wasn't sure it was blocking anything significant anymore. I suppose I have up after a while
- kevingrahl 8y agoI can see why you’d feel that way but for me it still blocks a lot of stuff I don’t want. I block some domains/companies via my hosts file and run a pihole but there’s always the odd advertising network etc I, or my pihole didn’t knew about that gets blocked by uMatrix.
- JohnFen 8y ago> NoScript (which is totally fine) just blocks all JS Depends on the version of NoScript. If you stick with the older ones before this was broken, you're good. You can't do that with the new Firefox, though.
