> Kind of annoying having to whitelist every website I visit on NoScript these days but worth it imho

In case you didn't already know, uBO does integrate a script blocker, with the advantage over NoScript that it supports per-site rules. I wrote a Twitter thread about this as an introduction a while ago: <https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1379819815657996290>.

Also, a negative interference when using another script blocker extension along uBO is that these can prevent uBO from redirecting blocked resources to local neutered ones[1], beside making managing rules more complicated since the ruleset of two extensions have to be investigated when trying to unbreak a site.

[1] Redirecting to neutered local resources is useful to prevent site breakage and also to defuse anti-content blocker mechanisms.



I just want to say thank you for your amazing work.


uBlock origin in "Medium mode" does most of what you're hoping to get out of NoScript. Enabling it is basically just turning on advanced mode and setting 2 rules to block 3rd party scripts and rules - https://github.com/gorhill/ublock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium...

I combo it with Decentraleyes to get rid of most CDN (tracking) traffic.


Thanks for all your work and troubles over the years.


I wanna thank you for blocking ads on each newssite pornsite and pirate movie site i visited, uBlock Origin is a gift that keeps on giving haha.
