    Interesting, then this is better than NoScript. I’m just a bit rattled by the uBO soft-takedown by Manifest v3 or whatever it was that had happened last year and am concerned about uBO, like, dying or something. What do you think is its future? If it still seems stable enough then I guess I’ll drop NoScript for it.

    And then on that note, would you be willing to share your settings of the scripts you’ve deemed comfortable, as a shortcut for other newbs like me who are just getting on board with all this? It’d be much appreciated if so! Either way, thanks for sharing.

      uBlock Origin still functions the same. I doubt it’ll die in the foreseeable future because there’s interest in it, and moreso than in NoScript (my assumption anyway).

      The uBlock Origin introduced https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home to cover the manifest v3. It’s a separate software. The original uBlock Origin remains functional like before.

      Regarding the earlier point, this lite FAQ entry sounds to me like the main author is more committed to origin than lite.

        I mean, if you’re still using Chrome, you likely don’t know about Manifest v3. Those who do have been on FF for quite some time.

      As a firefox user I’m not really affected by googles changes so I’m not worried about uBO at all.
      I will probably stick with noscript as of now, as I’m so used to it and have already built a large whitelist of domains I trust globally.

      Not certain what you mean with sharing my settings of scripts. If you mean my whitelist settings in noscript/ublock origin then I would recommend just starting with a blank slate and build up your own whitelist. We’re probably not using the same sites after all.
