Review summary

YesScript2 offers strong performance gains from blocking scripts, with a flexible three-state control and easy usability. It helps block ads and can bypass some paywalls. However, recurring issues include Recaptcha blocking in no-block mode and occasional site breakage due to blocking resources.

Pros

Significant performance gains: blocking scripts reduces CPU usage and makes many sites snappier.
Three-state blocking: option to block no JS, local JS, or all JS for fine-grained control.
Easy to use and straightforward to configure.
Effectively blocks scripts, ads, and pop-ups, reducing clutter and speeding up page loads.
Helpful for bypassing paywalls or gating on some sites.

Cons

Recaptcha is blocked even when set to no-block, which hurts usability on some sites.
Some sites exhibit breakage or CSP-related errors when blocking scripts (site compatibility issues).

2026-03-16	Dr*****	This site fixes Amazon CPU usage, and constant CPU spikes when using Firefox. Amazon's website went from unusable to snappy instantly after turning on full blocking. Though, it does block some functionality, but for just browsing, it is a godsend. Having to toggle through the 3 levels of blocking when needing to access context buttons for menus and organizing cart/wishlist is better than waiting 3-5 seconds for hover-menus and the hyperlinks actually becoming clickable.

2023-03-08	Fi*****	I find the YesScript2 add-on to be very useful in blocking scripts on websites that won't let you read without agreeing to a subscription or paying a fee. YesScript2 is extremely easy to use and very effective in blocking unwanted scripts. I love this add-on and I just wish it was available for my android cell phone. Thank you Andras!

(DeepL states that it is not Internet Explorer compatible — while I am using Firefox — and advises to use Edge Browser instead). Also reported on the To DeepL translation add-on page.
