Always wanted to try it, but have used noscript and strict Firefox for a decade. Am often astounded on the two dozen js trackers it doesn’t load on a news site.
Is there a big difference between that and UO? Thought it might be better for regular folks who may not recognize what js needs to be loaded and which is probably superfluous or dangerous.
- schiffern 3y agoYou're looking for "Hard Mode." https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-m... In this mode uBO can replace most of the features of NoScript, but you can always run both (and many folks do). You might also be interested in uMatrix, but sadly it's abandonware.
- mixmastamyk 3y agoWell, I'm not looking to replace noscript, am happy with it. Just wondering if I should recommend UBO to others instead. Is it easier to use as a novice or intermediate? And what are the ramifications of the difference?
