🧰 NoScript — Script Control for Power Users
NoScript blocks JavaScript and other active content by default, letting you whitelist only the domains you trust. It's open source and maintained by Giorgio Maone.
Key Features
- Granular control: Per-site allow/deny for scripts, objects, media.
- Hardening extras: Anti-XSS and clickjacking protections.
- Pairs well: Use alongside uBlock Origin for network-level blocking.
⚠️ Fair Warning
Heads-up: It will break many modern sites until you allow just the minimal domains needed. This is for people who enjoy tuning.

Why Use NoScript?
In an era where websites load dozens of third-party scripts, NoScript gives you complete control over what code runs in your browser. It's the digital equivalent of installing deadbolts on every door—secure by default, convenient by permission.
Perfect for privacy enthusiasts who want to know exactly which domains their browser is talking to, and power users who prefer breaking websites intentionally rather than having them break unexpectedly.
