Noscript: Turn off useless scripts

Alex P - May 13 - - Dev Community

https://noscript.net/ The extension that turns off all JavaScript & Media links on the page

During typical internet surfing, it brings you:

  • fast web page loading
  • reduced amount of annoyed popup windows
  • less internet traffic usage
  • and suddenly - adds more privacy

Let's compare, I took this page https://x-it.medium.com/no-nonsense-privacy-creating-safe-email-fa5bf7046ba2

With scripts

As we can see, the page made ~ 100 requests and loaded 2.2 Mb of data
Also, you see annoying elements on the page
And if you have been authorized in the browser on Google – you will see yet another window, that will suggest you to sign in...

And the example with after blocking the scripts:

No scripts

You can start immediately, without windows and less traffic!

If you see some troubles with a website – you may just click the Temp trust button for the root of the website

Temp trust

The page will be reloaded, and you will see other blocked scripts
