xorg takes 2% here, not by the grace of a superfast computer - far from it - but by the simple expedience of having both Noscript and RequestPolicy installed. I can still read the article so I don't know what I'm missing by not allowing all that JS and external content to run/load. Not much, I assume...
- gkya 13y agoThanks! Your comment has encouraged me to test out NoScript. How bad I haven't checked this out before. I had this superstition that with NoScript I'd have to spare a lot of time configuring to just be able to reach a comfortable level, but I've been able to get going in a minute. Massively useful.
- jjgreen 13y agoIf a page is hosed under NoScript then just temporarily allow all scripts. You can spend a few hours building up a whitelist of hosts for your most visited sites if you can be bothered, but that's not needed for it to be useful.
- gkya 13y agoActually, while using NoScript, I've found out that there are a very small set of websites I visit often to bother to add exceptions: HN, github, hurriyet (a news website), tumblr, duckduckgo and maybe a couple others I can't recall.
