People complain that the Firefox NoScript extension is hard to use and breaks sites, and I see threads like this and think &#x27;time to re-evaluate&#x27;.<p>The site with FF + NoScript loads perfectly. Everything I need to read the article and use my keyboard shortcuts works fine, no tampering with my preferences. 20 requests, about 1.5kB and loads in just a hair over one second for me - perfect.<p>It really is an improvement over the defaults that most websites deliver. It&#x27;s true that some sites completely break without JavaScript but these are not the norm, and if they are worthy you can always choose to whitelist them temporarily or permanently. I&#x27;ve used the extension for about ten years and have only needed to whitelist a few dozen sites total.<p>Do yourselves a favor and give it a try if you haven&#x27;t already. I can&#x27;t guarantee you will love it immediately but as your &#x27;cut through all the bullshit&#x27; option it truly excels.
