I personally visit "a great many websites" daily, and rarely have this problem. Maybe it's uBlock doing it's job, or maybe it's the kind of site you go to?
Or maybe I need to try uBlock again rather than assuming my Pihole is as good as it gets. Thanks for the suggestion.

Same here. My take away from these replies is that I'm not missing anything by sticking with uBlock.
With uBlock origin you're at the whim of the changes Google pushes through to chrome/chromium to nerf it.
Jesus, why does everyone these days automatically assumes that everyone else is using Chrome or Chromium? It's almost as crazy as calling Windows a "PC".
In my view, micrototalitarian actions like this are every bit as bad as the ills they seek to cure. Insisting on infringing the liberty of others, before even so much as talking to another person is the very core of what ails our society in this time.
I must say, I don't understand the disable JS movement. I browse with JS on, and uBlock Origin to block ads. It's rare that I have any javascript-related problems in my web browsing. On the other hand, I definitely use a number of sites that rely on javascript for useful purposes. If you're worried about tracking, you can block ads and tracking scripts without disabling javascript. If you're worried about viruses, we…
On a great many web sites I have to spend the first 60 seconds on the site clicking on "X" boxes in popups to make them go away. In many cases there are actually several layers of popups obscuring the content, and some are delayed so they only pop up after you start reading the content. No I do not want to subscribe to your mailing list. No I don't want to take your survey. No I do not want to "chat" with your bot-pr…

noscript is sadly, not perfect, but works if you stay 1st party. A great way to make your browsing better is to disable 3rd party scripts by default and whitelist when needed, but fails to work in those conditions.
You're thinking about Noscript the plugin. is also an HTML tag that can contain content for use when the browser isn't running JS, but which would yield a cleaner page if not present when JS is running.
if you disable 3rd party javascript, (using ublock origin or others) noscript tags don't trigger because scripting is still technically turned on and noscript tags aren't assigned to the script they compliment so the browser has no way of knowing which ones to run or not run in the 3rd party situation.

> If you're worried about viruses [...] Not to mention that a host of vulnerabilities were image related a few years back (one of the original rookits exploited a TGA bug). > uBlock Origin Honestly, this is the antivirus of the web. I helped my niece set up my old computer for Minecraft today, and she was explaining how her friend had installed viruses (adware, really) 3 times. Every one of those instances was caused…
In my experience Brave Browser (chrome based) runs circles around uBlock origin FYI

this is not about how "you" do things, It is more about how it should be done! js is almost never provides want I want when I browse, I expect to get some information! I am not on the circus looking for adventures!
people who love to use javascript to prove that they have some kind of taste about how ux etc. I think these people should use some other platform for people who are insterested in show bussniss. think of this as public transportation is designed based on who the driver is that day! is this sound ok to you? do you understand this one?
web is just connection to other people, not a tool for others to bully you just bein' smart about "the code" they wrote is brilliant!
I expected this to be implemented with something like document.body.textContent = "Please disable JavaScript to view this site" on page load. Which would be enough to work. It's actually exactly it, but with the extra precaution of wrapping the entire page inside a noscript tag. Hilarious. I guess it's useful to avoid having a chance to see the content during a flash, before the script executes. A good contrast with…

Heydon is a developer, and an influencer of developers. He's saying: web development is now absolutely obsessed with JavaScript, and it in no way has to be. The basics, HTML, CSS. That's what's important.
