Thread: What Do You Think Of 'No Script' Add-on for Mozilla Firefox ?

I only use Linux here as someone else mentioned earlier.

I used to do the noscript thing, but it became too much of a pain for poking around. If you have just a few set places you surf to, it's manageable.

I run a Raspberry Pi with Pi-hole as my first defence (it requires a couple of white listings so Windows Update works if you use that), then on each browser I install Ublock Origin, Privacy Badger and Ghostery (the last one requires configuration to work properly) and I have turned Ghostery off on a couple of sites as it blocks my ability to log in.

I used Firefox for years, but in the past year I've succumbed to searching for a replacement, currently I'm playing with Opera and Vivaldi (both are based on Chrome from what I can tell). There is another one I'm going to take a look at, but the name escapes me at the moment.

I'd say there's nothing wrong with NoScript if you are happy with it, it's more of a convenience thing for me.

Regards

Since I've switched our web-surfing computers over to Chromebooks, we've had no issues. None. Two years now.

Opera (created 1995) pre-dates Chrome. I'm not sure why I stopped using Opera, its features were incredible compared to other browsers at the time. Many of the more popular browsers "borrowed" advanced features that Opera debuted. E.g. tabbed browsing (this feature alone made me switch over to Opera...now every browser does tabs). If Opera is anything like it was 10 years ago, I would highly recommend giving it a spin.

Tabbed browsing is what I love about Firefox. I've got a lot of memory, (on my computer) and I keep dozens of tabs open and restart my last session by default. Firefox doesn't run the tab unless you click on it, but it is there.

Chrome keeps all tabs running all of the time, so I don't use it except for sites that work better with it.
