I love the idea of NoScript, but so many page wont work with NoScript running so I just don't use it :( That's not a NoScript problem, just how web pages are being made.

@RotatingParts but you're aware you may differentiate ? 🤔 https://blog.jeaye.com/assets/noscript/intro-ab3b72460d678a8c7bb2e733eac2ae91eb758029e1598710422ba757335a27c5.png

Yes, and I end up with such a long list it just doesn't work for me. I'm sure I'll give it another try at one point, but in the end it just is such a headache for me.
