Is javascript always bad?
Good or bad depends on the intentions of the website you're visiting, and unfortunately also of the many 3rd party script sources it includes. Users should have a chance to decide which sites they trust to run JavaScript and which they do not, and this is the reason why 18 years ago I've created NoScript, and why it is still there and shipped by default inside the Tor Browser.

PSA: We're all ripe for phishing attempts while looking for Reddit alternatives
Use a different name, password, and email if you can. Keep an adblocker and noscript handy. Don't accept cookies from new sites. Maybe even use the TOR browser for better anonymity and safety while you're giving these new platforms a test run.

Ask HN: Browsing the web with JavaScript turned off?
I do (with the NoScript browser extension: https://noscript.net/). The main reason is to reduce my attack surface. A secondary benefit is it eliminates most ads and other annoying distractions.

GitHub Stars as a FOSS Metrics? 🤔
I'll give an example of NoScript which is a great project that you should be using. Most people download the extension directly though their browser. Firefox shows 317,244 active users and Chromium shows 100,000+ users. Some people know of the website. Less people know of the GitHub project the NoScript Common Library (nscl). NoScript has 645 stars and nscl has 15 stars. 417,244+ active users and only 660 stars. If you use the project and you have a GitHub account, give it some love with some stars!

Is there any Firefox add-on that removes reddit ads?
thanks for your explanation, I now understand about what scripts you wrote on your previous answer. But I meant something a bit different I think - probably didn't make it clear enough - here and here is this my question talked about in official github where the ublock owner (I assume) answered that "This would run counter to what I see as an ideal", so this behaviour was disabled intentionally and will never come back. So sorry for bothering you, I think that concludes my question, because haters are already downvoting it smh

Browsing in 2022
I was there, not sure how you couldn't be there unless you're new to the internet and browser addons in general. Pretty common knowledge that he gave the project away. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/38 https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1019975271443771392 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UBlock\_Origin#uBlock nothing is misleading, gorhill says it himself. Just stop spreading bullshit I still can't figure out why you looked at articles instead of just the events of it actually happening https://github.com/uBlock-LLC/uBlock/issues/1419

Using Adblockers does hurt Content creators
For those interested this can be done on ad blockers but they are not the default. For ublock origin you will even have to write your own rules.

Why aren't Phishing URL Blocklist and PUP Domains Blocklist enabled by default?
To reiterate, the reason why annoyance filter lists are not enabled by default is because of higher likelihood of site breakage, not because of performance concerns, see https://github.com/uBlock-LLC/uBlock/releases/tag/0.8.2.8.

Wow github is actually pretty addicting
It's a hub for open-source code. You can share your code, but also contribute to others code. For example, here is uBlock's source code. If there is a bug when you use it, you can ask other users if they know how to fix it. Or better, you can download the code yourself, find the bug and fix it. Then you can send that fix to them and it gets added to the code. Now you have personally improve that tool!
