Downvotes or not, it is the way. I'm a programmer and I use uMatrix to whitelist only the JavaScript necessary to get the content I want. The Web is user adverse. I'll gladly miss out on that 90% of the Web, most of it is garbage. The average user generally only visits a few sites anyway.
- chrismmay 7y agoThe Web can be a dangerous place, much like the rest of the world. Never heard of uMatrix before. It looks interesting. Thanks.
- mrspeaker 7y agoYep - same: I'm one of the biggest JavaScript fans there are, and there's no way I'm letting any-old schmo run code on my computer just because I visited their web site! I use no script and Privacy Badger... these days it has to be something pretty exceptional to make me temporarily whitelist. If a page is blank, or just says "this app needs javascript to run", then it's insta-close: so not only am I not running javascript, I get a productivity boost too!
