I just made a topic about it

JavaScript blocker: our most important browser plugin (uBlock Orign) Open Source & Web-Based

Oh hi, you didn’t see me there. You know why? I am using uBlock Orign. Since most phishing and hacks occur by using JavaScript, many security specialists count on the NoScript addon. This is very effective but there is no balance to usability since its a hassle every day. So try and meet uBlock Orign. Its a fire and forget plugin with predefined rulesets by topic you can add: [Screenshot (55)] If you want to override this global rule settings click the addon icon while surfing and a matrix will appear. The left column is for global settings, the right for this specific page. There will be all scripts listed a page wants to use: [Untitled] If you mark the script green, it will be allowed, red forbidden. If you mark it on the left column it will be allowed on the entire web (coin-hive anyone? ;-). But as i said it’s basically fire and forget, just install, subscribe to the rulesets you want, and you’re done. It has way more features like blocking certain elements on a page. If you want to step it up more complex, try the uMatrix addon instead. Always keep in mind, if you install a plugin you are giving away trust. And as we know, trust is a weakness. Something isn’t perfect when you can’t add anymore things, it’s perfect when you can’t leave anything. So, what is your most important browser plugin?
