The very good advantage with Firefox is being able to addon “NoScript” and Ghostery”. Even Brave or Dissenter can’t match the security, privacy, and ad blocking of NoScript along with Ghostery.

NoScript is THE ultimate blocking tool available.

Agreed.

NoScript can be annoying at times, as you have to sometimes experiment to find out which scripts are necessary to make a site work, but the inconvenience is worth it. I have google and twitter marked as permantely "untrusted."

If a site requires google javascript, I bug out.

Also, Youtube is unusable without Ghostery.

Absolutely, thank you for the confirmation. Yes it does have a slight learning curve with what to toggle on. But you remember after awhile which it needs for what element.

But it is amazing how many are wide open even with everything blocked. And many just the top “domain” listing has to be toggled on. And have you noticed that this combination gets around paywalls like the Washington Post and others also? :)

But I have hit sites that had almost a hundred 3rd party API scripts that NoScript blocked, and only had to toggle on one to make the site function yet keep all the others blocked. :)
