  There is still NoScript, which is arguably much better than that, since it offers more granular control

    I feel like most people here use ublock origin already so should just use that JS blocking in that instead of adding on noscript.

  I wrote myself a little plugin for firefox.

  It runs nice, and I want to install it permanently. It does something I want.

  Can I? No. Why? Because Firefox… Apparently I’m not adult enough to control my own browser. WTF.

  I have to either get their developer build or become a developer with an account. WTF.

  So I think, I don’t want their developer build, I just want this plugin— I make a mozilla plugin developer account- because apparently that’s how I’m supposed to do it- I try to create the plugin upload —

  Can I? No. Why? Because they want my phone number before I can make a plugin just for myself. WTF.

  So - I ask ChatGPT if there is any work around for this, can it search, I just want to run my own plugin, I don’t want the developer build, I don’t want the developer account, I just want to run my own plugin- ChatGPT says it can’t help me because I’m not adhering to Firefox’s EULA. WTF.

  So I give up on the plugin - and today, I just happen to notice Mozilla silently turned on SYNC for my web history for that fucking Mozilla plugin developer account. So I guess I’m sending them everything I ever do on the web. WTF.

  I go and try to find out what information they’ve stolen from me, can I find it? No. The have some link, to another link, to another link, to another link, which eventually ends up on some page where I can ask them to pretty please send me what information they stole. Why can I not see this without writing a letter! WTF.

  WTF WTF WTF. I hate Mozilla.

  Please let them burn in software hell.

    Why ask chatgpt? Did you want a fake answer?

  Meh, no script does that quite well, not?

    No it doesn’t, you want to be able to turn off JS while it is running, and that is now impossible. Noscript stops it from running in the first place and that breaks too many sites.

      You can do it. F12->debugger->cog->uncheck “Show paused overly”, click the pause button. Very very few sites still work well that way. It just doesn’t make sense to have this functionality in a HTML5 world.
