But it also puts a load on the user in what they allow and as mentioned these ad-ons can break site layout when scripts can't format the layout or import content. In combination with ad blockers, these can but a crimp in the bad guys activities. If they are going to do that, then there is little point in having an ad blocker.Īlso, should users go the extra step and control 3rd party site access, Request Policy (of old) and uMatrix. With all ad blockers there is an overhead, the user really has to be in control (time and hassle) of what is allowed and what should remain blocked and not just allow all. Well NoScript had previously shot itself in the foot, by adding a great number of sites to load scripts in their default allow list/s and this apparently was more revenue related than not an issue.Īt that point many dropped NoScript in favour of uBlock Origin.

Who looks under the *hood aka in the browser developer's console can see what (s)he/it blocks or not (but it only seems polonus and a few other's are capable of deciding what to block and what not). We have the following dilemma: Blocking scripts creates disfunctionality, allowing (all) threats and risks.įor the non-tech-savvy the in between is no option. This means a victory for the general dumbed down click-sh**ple, facebook's Mr. This is where the crisis stems from NoScript has now being blacklisted and is being blocked as an extension, while it apparently breaks webpages (in the hands of the uninformed and non-tech-savvy). Scripts can import all sort of functionality into a browser, but they are also easily abused by malcreants to inject all sorts of malcode into your browser.
