    noscript

    I find that uMatrix does the same thing but better, but they're both fine. Some pages use WAY too many scripts, and work if you block all of them

      uMatrix's interface is amazing and I have yet to find a good replacement on that front. At first I tried NoScript, but I lost my whitelist after a couple months and didn't feel like building it up again, then I tried GNU's script blocker that doesn't block open source scripts (which was helpful for peertube instances because I had to always manually unblock them with noscript) but it was really difficult to know what the scripts actually were with that one. After that I tried uBlock on advanced mode and I'll be honest I don't think I ever fully understood what that did but I went back to uMatrix for the time being because just being able to see the domains and subdomains and the categories all in a grid and easily blockable was really simple and useful for me.

        I know uMatrix isn't actively developed at the moment but it works great and from a browse of the buglist, it's mostly UI nitpicks or new features. Seems safe to keep using.
