    ah see that makes sense. I only use no script and privacy badger as sorta a backup for when I allow pages. and I guess to long didn’t read if you include that in this kind of thing. I don’t use much beyond no script for similar reason you don’t see the need to use privacy badger.

      NoScript is great for blocking Javascript on websites, it even comes pre-installed on Tor Browser. Highly recommend either NoScript or GNU LibreJS (which blocks all Javascript it deems “non-trivial” or unfree) for Javascript blocking.

      For your use case, I would just uninstall Privacy Badger and use uBlock. You sound like you don’t value your convenience super highly (because you use noscript :)), so I would take a look at the advanced user settings in uBlock. It will show every domain attempting to be loaded on a website, and you can pick and choose which you want to allow / block globally or allow / block per-site. You can also block large media elements, remote fonts, among some other things I can’t remember off top.

        yeah but for me privacy badger is on because it comes from the eff who I trust highly. I don’t know enough about ublock to care to put it on. If I was not doing privacy badger I would replace it with nothing.

          Well both projects are open source, so your reasoning for trusting privacy badger more doesn’t really make any sense.

          The code is auditable, and uBlock is the most popular and developed open source ad-blocker. What organizations happen to support / recommend them does not matter.

            Well it does not make sense to someone who does not think philosophy matters. I have nothing against ublock and of course its methodology is a preference but eff is an organization whos philosophy I agree with.
