I'm very close to switching from a default-deny to a default-allow paradigm in the browser extension NoScript. It's just gotten way too much of a pain to keep checking & allowing things (especially on mobile with its clunky interfaces). So my goal now is to create the best always-untrusted/block list of the worst/easiest offenders and then switch to default-allow. I have the usual suspects like doubleclick and various google domains, et al. I was wondering if anyone else would care to share the domains they always block for js in their browsers? I'd love a good standard list of what to block. Stuff that doesn't really break anything but limits the scripts running from trackers/ad-ers. Thanks!
You'll find some resources in the PiHole community, as well as the AdBlock forums. Are you not able to run AdBlock Plus (or whatever the current state of the art is called) in Firefox on mobile? -Adam Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/AAb9ysg> ________________________________ From: Trevor Cordes <trevor@tecnopolis.ca> Sent: Friday, April 17, 2026 12:10:43 AM To: MUUG RndTbl <roundtable@muug.ca> Subject: [RndTbl] noscript brainstorm I'm very close to switching from a default-deny to a default-allow paradigm in the browser extension NoScript.

I'll check it out... I knew I'm not the only one. Yes, I'm also running adblockers. The (my!) purpose of noscript isn't (just) to block ads, it's to block the quiet capture-all-your-data-and-traffic-patterns js code from *even running*. Yes, this is in addition to all the do-not-track and firefox-protection stuff that is also already occurring. Yes, it's not perfect -- none of these solutions are. Layered defense.
