disable scripting ie. NoScript

I've heard of NoScript, but I've read that it can break web pages. Is that so?

absolutely, every page that relies on javascript.

NoScript lets you allow/disallow scripting on a temporary/permanent basis for each individual domain. very powerful.

The one I’ve used is YesScript. By default, it allows javascript. Click a button to dblock javascript.

IIRC, NoScript works the opposite. Blocks by default and you click a button to allow.

I like the former because it’s less apt to block something I might want to see, like the comments section of websites.

The script blockers also block auto-play video which is nice. They block a lot of popups too.

uBlock Origin is a good ad blocker.

I have to admit, I glance at drudge’s headlines because he is fast at putting things up.

Can’t stand libertydaily’s nasty ads and uBlock Origin doesn’t block them for some reason. Whatfinger, aside from the stupid name, is just a busy mess to look at. Really bad layout imho.
