NoScript as a antipattern, because it disincentivises browsing new websites. As you observed, for every new website you need to reload the page quite a few times to get it functional.
- kazinator 2y agoIt mainly disincentivizes using scummy sites the fetch JavaScript from 20 domains. Sites that just fetch JavaScript from their own domain, not as much.
- rembicilious 2y agoI don’t ever install NoScript on family/friend devices. It just breaks their experience. I have knowledgeable coworkers that won’t use it because it’s not worth the hassle for them. So I agree it is an anti-pattern for typical use cases. But if you’re trying to get the most out of old hardware, it will make some websites more usable.
- whizzter 2y agoThat's the point, a _website_ should mostly be text,css and images and that works 100% fine with NoScript out of the box. My pattern is basically browsing the wild net with FF/Noscript and use Chrome for "apps" (gmail,sheets,etc) that i feel have a reason to use JS.
