Hey guys, I have been seeing a lot of people talking good things about noscript, I have a few questions about it:

  • Why isn’t it open source? Is there a open source alternative? To me this kinda feels suspicious, installing an extension that can affect all tabs from outside the Mozzila store, while not even open source…
  • How to minimize damage? After briefly trying it on, I couldn’t interact with lemmy anymore, many websites lost their dark mode, youtube wasn’t pausing the video, nor was the like button working…
  • Is it really needed? What kind of threat model makes something like that needed? Wouldn’t it be possible to just add other sources for uBlock to block tracking scripts or something?
