Would Ghostery accomplish the same thing?
- rangibaby 14y agoI had Ghostery, but didn't like it. It seemed to "talk too much". Noscript can be paranoid (a feature, not a bug) and occasionally stop sites from working even if they are white-listed; I consider having to open a site in another browser sometimes less of a nuisance than having my main browser slowed down by dodgy JS. Two add-ons anthropomorphized in one comment! I guess that's what happens when you spend so much time in front of a screen ;-)
- angryasian 14y agoghostery does accomplish the same thing, the notifications can be turned off. You can explicitly turn on and off services all the time or in real time.
- krichman 14y agoGhostery is supposed to help you avoid tracking but is owned by Evidon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidon http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidon) so I feel like they have quite the conflict of interest.
