Honest question, do you browse without JS enabled? I suppose you could just whitelist sites that you need it for.
I’m using uMatrix. I set JS as off by default.
So yeah, more complex whitelisting.
On my computers I enable js only for the url I connect to, and then if nothing works, I start enabling it for other urls or skip using the site.
You get pretty handy with it pretty soon.
I’ve used ublock for like +10 years if not more
Some folks browse using Tor or other high-privacy respecting browsers, in which things like NoScript are a default.
Anyway, yeah, NoScript is still pretty popular and if I recall correctly you can whitelist and regex with it. I just use the same functionality to disable javascript that is in uBlock Origin, personally.
Though uBlock doesn’t set javascript.enabled to false, only blocking any kinds of js. Meaning, the
<noscript>tag (with the ever so useless error message) doesn’t get triggered, which results in some sites built in a defective framework just being empty.The
<noscript>messages seem to work for me with uBO.Wha, they do? For me, only in Dillo and the likes. But none of
javascript.flags is touched, so maybe there is a extension API trigger?
