Using NoScript to selectively block JavaScript across all websites has opened my eyes to the sewers we wade through online (midwest.social)

This comment encouraging me to try out NoScript Security Suite (Firefox) changed my life. googletagmanager is used everywhere!

It’s weird to me that you would click a link and without your consent JS code can be downloaded from wherever and run on your computer.

NoScript is always on for me (on my personal PC). Sites that don’t load at all are probably not worth visiting.

not only is noscript your general browsing prophylactic, but it will often render js paywalls climbable. I have no other plugin as loved and as useful as noscript - immediate install on any firefox instance.
