Using NoScript to selectively block JavaScript across all websites has opened my eyes to the sewers we wade through online
This comment [https://midwest.social/post/25528705/16408042] encouraging me to try out NoScript Security Suite [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/] (Firefox) changed my life. googletagmanager is used everywhere!
I first gave NoScript a spin sometime in the mid-2010s. It was an adjustment, to say the least. But once you get used to temporarily allowing a new target domain as a matter of course, holy hell does the whole game come into specific relief.
The Washington Post, for example – which I was a paid subscriber to until it shit the bed – wanted JS from some 25 domains (many of which were Amazon ad related). I also have NoScript on Firefox on my Pixel.
Firefox, uBO and NoScript are the floor for passable internet hygiene to me.
@opensourceopenmind @ISOmorph @Powderhorn You can use #uBlockOrigin in Medium or Hard mode, which blocks all 3rd-party scripts, frames, etc. by default except for those you specifically allow:
