- vacri 11y agoThis article was a little startle to me - I never really thought to use NoScript as a security measure for myself. I use it to make the web 'quieter': no more pop-ups, pop-acrosses, popovers, pop-from-wherevers, plus a few other obnoxious behaviours are beaten into submission as well. Stopping javascript isn't going to stop tracking anyway - the big players still track who's loading their button images, for example.
- _nedR 11y agoI use Privacy Badger by EFF for blocking third-party cookies(https://www.eff.org/privacybadge https://www.eff.org/privacybadge). It works incredibly well but does have a whitelist which includes lot of CDNs (https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadgerchrome/blob/master/doc/sample_cookieblocklist.txt https://github.com/EFForg/privacybadgerchrome/blob/master/do...) to prevent websites from breaking.
- seba_dos1 11y agoNo. NoScript makes browsing faster, disables lots of annoyances and (to some extent) increases security - not just by blocking JS scripts, but also by providing great tools against stuff like clickjacking. Maybe it fights some tracking as a side effect, but that's not the reason you install it, because it's not made for that and therefore is not very effective.
