YesScript2

It marks the domain of the active tab untrusted, reloads the page and blocks scripts from running on it. An option for the user to stop a website eating up resources or doing malicious things even if it breaks the functionality of the page.

YesScript2 Firefox Add-on

YesScript2 empowers users to take control of web scripts, enhancing privacy and device performance. It allows three levels of script blocking—full, half, and none—so users can tailor their web experience based on their needs. With a single click, automatically reload the page after marking it untrusted, safeguarding against resource-heavy or potentially malicious scripts.

This add-on leverages Firefox's Sync feature to maintain settings across devices and is compatible with both desktop and mobile platforms. While blocking scripts can lead to reduced website functionality, it presents a crucial tool for users looking to protect their devices from vulnerabilities. Designed with a minimal code set for easier auditing, YesScript2 is a modern revisit of the original concept, offering a user-friendly alternative to more complex scripting blockers like NoScript. Explore a safer browsing experience with YesScript2 today!

Using it for a couple of years now and on a daily basis. I love the option of no js, only local js or all js. Beautiful piece of work!
