   uBlock origin stole functionality from NoScript. They had to admit to that in some github drama. I got the author's dox and website if you like. They don't realize how fucked they are.

   Privacy Badger is another good one. It blocks google analytics and the like - which may not sound like much but a lot of sites have *several* different analytic services.
   
   I'm not against javascript - fuck knows I've written enough of it - but in recent years people have really started taking the piss. I might play around with a JS blocking plugin with a blacklist/whitelist. If your site behaves well, you can run some JS.

   if you are using firefox, and would like to turn off WebRTC open the about:config and change the value:
   

   
   media.peerconnection.enabled true
   

   
   to
   

   
   media.peerconnection.enabled false
