I tried no script for a few days but it was so frustrating that the majority of websites just flat out didn't work I had to get rid of it.

You just have to go into no script and approve the parts that make the website function but not the ad stuff. Its a pain when you first land on a site but the browser remembers what you have allowed. So overtime you get back to normal working sites, minus ads and tracking stuff

Until you distro hop and realize that the noscript plugin migrates with your firefox profile, but not the website settings you've set up.

Aren't those stored in your ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile.default/.

That would have been helpful yesterday, but thank you none the less. I'd already wiped the drive and swapped to cachyos when I realized I had to redo noscript.
