I finally started to use Firefox more when the news came about about Google probably dropping support for real adblock. I had always run NoScript on my Firefox, and tended to be reluctant to use Firefox more because of it, due to how much time I needed to spend guessing which scripts to enable to get a site to work well enough. Now that I'm trying to use it more, I'm actually not finding it too bad - it seems to block websites from doing annoying things before I even knew they did it more than needing to fiddle with which scripts to enable.

Oh yeah, also using it in hopes of having real adblock on mobile.



Yeah I actually installed NoScript on Firefox for Android a couple months back, exactly because of the kind of shit mentioned in this thread[1]. While I recommend NoScript on desktop to anyone with some technical chops, it's clumsy enough on mobile that I'm not ready to recommend it. That said, I still like it better than the popups.
