NoScript Alternatives

NoScript is described as 'The NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Seamonkey and other mozilla-based browsers: this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript, Java, Flash and other plugins to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank)' and is a very popular Ad Blocker in the web browsers category. There are more than 10 alternatives to NoScript for a variety of platforms, including Firefox, Windows, Linux, Google Chrome and Mac. The best alternative is uBlock Origin, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like NoScript are uMatrix, ScriptSafe, GNU LibreJS and RequestPolicy.

NoScript alternatives are mainly Ad Blockers but may also be Privacy Tools. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of NoScript.
