Remember when they had a "kill switch" for javascript?
Yeah, as long as it made any sense to browse the web without JS. These days you need at least an allow list.
It's available as an extension: https://webextension.org/listing/javascript-toggler.html
Yeah. Used to be native. Like the slop kill switch currently is. Then won't be.
For years and years I've been using this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yesscript2/
