I must say I had to look for how to disable JS in Firefox + uBlock. As someone pointed out, there's a button on uBlock to disable it. I didn't quite spend so much time on Firefox preferences but I didn't find the option. I&#x

Just wanted to chime in here and say Zorin is good too. It's based on Ubuntu 18.04 + Gnome + some extensions (which make it really beautiful to look at). It's fast and gets out of the way immediately when you want it to. But my la
