Every time this subject has come up on this site, and someone has mentioned to use the extension NoScript, they've been down voted to oblivion.

Maybe because uMatrix is much better at the job than NoScript? :)

But yeah, there seems to be a lot of animosity towards the idea of blocking javascript here. Maybe because there is a lot of webdevelopers visiting this site, and they instinctively react when someone is trying to take their toys away.

Yep, I wrote NoScript, but I actually meant script blocking. :)

For some time now, I've used ublock origin, which I find better overall than umatrix.

#notallwebdevelopers. Progressive enhancement is a reliability mechanism, not a throwback.
