Firefox profiles are great, not denying that. And disabling JS is very important, I've been using noscript for many, many years. Can't even remember when I started. But having two profiles to switch between JS and non-JS seems like a massive hassle to me. I just hit shift+t in noscript and it temporarily removes restrictions on a tab. Noscript mainly protects you from those unknown tabs being opened by malware, that you don't expect. But usually on a huge website like theregister or etsy you can disable that while you do your business. One feature I'd love to see in noscript though is globally disabling noscript by domain. And that is mainly due to AWS using randomized cloudfront subdomains to include assets. I don't want to whitelist *.cloudfront because anybody can use that to host malware.

Check out uMatrix and uBlock Origin.

  I have uBlock origin installed already, but do they do what I want? Maybe you misunderstood me. I want to go into the aws console and based on the primary domain (in the url bar) I want to allow all JS for that tab automatically, if that pre-condition is met. Noscript right now can only whitelist specific domains. So if the primary domain is amazonaws.com and it includes assets from 123.cloudfront.com then there is no way to temporarily whitelist 123.cloudfront.com automatically when I enter amazonaws.com. It has to be done manually.

    > Maybe you misunderstood me. I don't think I did. uMatrix makes this easy to configure with a couple of clicks. uBlock Origin can probably do it as well, but not as easily; it might require text-based configuration. As I said, check them out. (And please note that uBlock Origin is not the same as uBlock. Avoid the latter.)
