I get the feeling having NoScript can be more annoying that not having it so I have been procrastinating installing it...

I use "medium mode" in uBlock[1], which causes only 3rd-party scripts/frames to be blocked, not 1st-party ones. I could read the article fine, I had no idea there were issues with overlays with it, and it otherwise rendered fine.

Not blocking 1st-party scripts remove a lot of the tediousness of blocking scripts by default.

There's also ublock matrix which is noscript but easier to work with.

Thanks for the suggestion, it looks very interesting. And, obviously, thanks for all the work on uBlock Origin, interneting got much less annoying after installing it in every machine I get my hands on. Thanks!

Speaking as someone who has NoScript installed... you are sadly correct.
