Oh, but they don’t just load jquery themselves… for each site “feature” they pull dynamically from a different CDN, loading the same code over and over again to call different functions.

And all it takes is for ONE of their CDNs to get poisoned and suddenly they’re serving malware.

The worst is when they redirect you to some /nojs page or similar that doesn’t even have scripts from whatever source was required for it to run so I can’t just tell noscript to allow whatever seems relevant, I have to blanket allow scripts temporarily.

Same. I use uBlock Origin and NoScript together.

It’s such a pain: go to uBlock Origin, unblock 3p scripts. Then, go to NoScript, unblock the scripts that need to run, then select specifically which elements of the script need to run (media, script, object etc).

I just give up sometimes and run it in a different browser temporarily, or just don’t visit the website. Maybe I’m a madman
