Meanwhile, I'm using noscript like it's still the 90's and get no such prompts. Granted most of the websites are crippled, but you can't have your cookie and eat it too.

NoScript came out in 2005.[1]

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoScript

He's saying the result of using noscript is that the web is like it was in the 90's.
That is not what he said.

He said he's "using noscript like it's still the 90's", as in he's using NoScript as if he was still in the 1990s. Problem with that is NoScript did not exist in the 1990s.

As an aside, NoScript did not exist, "browser extensions" in general did not exist (not counting toolbars...), and ads, Shockwave Flash, and some JavaScript were already very much a thing in the 1990s.

I didn't say that's what he said, I said that's what he's saying. There's a difference.
Proxitok gives the same experience to that dumpster fire of a UI we call TikTok.
