I have installed both uBlock Origin and NoScript in Firefox. Does it make sense to use both at the same time? I was wondering whether or not uBlock Origin is able to do everything that NoScript does. If not, what does NoScript have that uBlock Origin does not?
My understanding is yes it can. You need to adjust the blocking mode.
Is there a simple way to block individual scripts with uBlock? I’ve only found a simple way to block 3rd or 1st party scripts and frames altogether.
You can use the element zapper or picker to remove individual elements on a page.
You can also use the logger to identify specific elements and then create a rule to block them.
I recommend uMatrix for targeted blocking.
So far I understand it’s no necessary to use both. You can do everything that Noscript does with uBO.
I would also like to know
NoScript to block specific JS elements on a page. If you have visited any Chinese online shop like Aliexpress or Linsoul I’m sure you’ll appreciate NoScript to be able to only unblock the essential JS to be able to interact with the site and block every other tracker
uBO can also do exactly the same. And more ☝🏻
I am only able to block either every JS script or none. How do I select which scripts to block? This was the reason I installed NoScript
You can identify specific scripts with the logger and from the same window you create a dynamic rule
uBlock has specific things that it blocks and configurable rules. NoScript just blocks all JS regardless of its purpose.
If you want something like NoScript, the creator of uBlock as another most excellent extension called uMatrix, which offers a dizzying level of granularity!
I used to use uMatrix, but stopped using it because it was discontinued. It might still work, but it stopped getting updated because the dev wanted to focus on uBlock.
