NoScript

Maximum protection for your browser: NoScript allows active content only for trusted domains of your choice to prevent exploitation.

What is NoScript?

NoScript is a powerful Chrome extension designed for maximum web protection. It works by allowing JavaScript, Flash, Java, and other executable content to run only from trusted domains, such as your home-banking site. This technique mitigates the risk of remotely exploitable vulnerabilities like Spectre and Meltdown. It offers a solid defense against cross-site scripting attacks (XSS), cross-zone DNS rebinding, CSRF attacks (router hacking), and Clickjacking attempts. This preemptive approach helps prevent exploitation of even unknown security vulnerabilities without causing any loss of functionality where you need it. Considered the best available protection on the web, NoScript has won the 'PC World World Class Award' and is bundled with the Tor Browser.

Learning from default settings, I use: Temporarily... (Y), Any capability....(Y) Default=Trusted (No Ping, Lan & Other) & Untrusted: No LAN but Y to everything that will get ticked (6 options blocked) In the rare case: look at some specific site or even allow temporarily for proper viewing.... Hoping this leaves out most of the unexpected and unwanted things, with the benefit of list of sites pre classified. Thanks!

Good in principle, poor execution and options. Breaks most sites, can't spend a lifetime in manually whitelisting and figuring out which places work and which won't. It's mostly hit-or-miss on a large number of sites. Ideally there should be a blacklist of most used sites (from google to fb, twitter, amazon, youtube, yahoo, wikipedia, and so on sites) so that users could pick up crowd-created settings shared via options selection where a user could load and apply such shared settings or choose to create and use its own. Obviously that would require the extension to have a more granular control over what is allowed and what is filtered out. Until then it's not very useful IMHO... certainly not to me. Since it's not feasible nor practical in any way to use it I ended up uninstalling it rather quickly after testing it across a few major sites: 8 for effort, 5 for execution, 2 for support.
