  You should check out https://noscript.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Is javascript always bad?

  Good or bad depends on the intentions of the website you're visiting, and unfortunately also of the many 3rd party script sources it includes. Users should have a chance to decide which sites they trust to run JavaScript and which they do not, and this is the reason why 18 years ago I've created NoScript, and why it is still there and shipped by default inside the Tor Browser.

• PSA: We're all ripe for phishing attempts while looking for Reddit alternatives

  Use a different name, password, and email if you can. Keep an adblocker and noscript handy. Don't accept cookies from new sites. Maybe even use the TOR browser for better anonymity and safety while you're giving these new platforms a test run. Source: 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Browsing the web with JavaScript turned off?

  I do (with the NoScript browser extension: https://noscript.net/). The main reason is to reduce my attack surface. A secondary benefit is it eliminates most ads and other annoying distractions. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• GitHub Stars as a FOSS Metrics? 🤔

  I'll give an example of NoScript which is a great project that you should be using. Most people download the extension directly though their browser. Firefox shows 317,244 active users and Chromium shows 100,000+ users. Some people know of the website. Less people know of the GitHub project the NoScript Common Library (nscl).

• Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking

  I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved.

• Higher fees, more ads: streaming cashes in by using the old tactics of cable TV

• In 2024, please switch to Firefox

  I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background. Adguard [1] is a decent free option. I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.
