@ISOmorph @Powderhorn Please explain how, when #uBlockOrigin works based on blocklisting while #noScript uses allowlisting?

@opensourceopenmind @ISOmorph @Powderhorn You can use #uBlockOrigin in Medium or Hard mode, which blocks all 3rd-party scripts, frames, etc. by default except for those you specifically allow:

Interesting. Is there a way to port NoScript settings into uBO?

@normplum @ISOmorph @Powderhorn Thanks, will give it a try and see if it can replace noScript.
