I used to use it all the time, but after a few years I got tired of constantly playing a game of “which blocked script is breaking everything this time” every time I visit a new website.
I wish I could remember the discussion (ADHD), but I remember someone pointing out to me a few years back that Ublock Origin makes NoScript redundant. It does have the ability to block scripts, it just enables them by default instead of blocking them. Don’t quote me on this but I believe the reason was because it only blocks malicious Javascript.
Y’all ever try NoScript too? Freaking wild how some sites need to use like 30 shady JavaScript modules just to function.
It’s a burden, but it blocks things like the “invisible facebook pixel” for instance…
I use noscript and ads don’t load unless I whitelist them. Videos won’t autoplay unless I whitelist them. I am the internet’s bouncer

I like noscript. It’s pretty aggressive, but so are the trackers.
