     @mwl like blocking 100% of JS for all sites that aren't in an allowlist? I'd say that's useful but a little extreme

     blocking in a more nuanced way using ublock origin? absolutely indispensible

     I'll also throw in a vote for defaulting to blocking 3rd-party scripts; it occasionally causes trouble but it's not too bad

     @mwl I like "ublock origin hard mode" for this personally: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode

     it's especially nice when you have a key binding for "relax blocking mode"

     (medium mode is also pretty reasonable; I think it's a little more lax with static resources)

     Context: setting up a new PC.

     I use noscript with default deny and ublock origin. Wondering if I still need to bother with both, or if ublock is enough.
