Hacker News Reader

I've been using a simple Javascript whitelist/blocker for the last 4 years or so (a dead-simple Safari content blocker for iOS and Mac I wrote myself; syncs over iCloud just to give me something to do) and I honestly don't know how anyone can stand the wide-open web without something similar.

Using the web with free Javascript privileges is an utterly appalling experience. I can't stand it for more than 5 seconds.

I don't suppose you've open sourced that somewhere?

My work has switched to iPhones, and I really miss NoScript when using Safari

I recently switched back to Chrome on mobile because I NEED the ability to blacklist JavaScript from abusive sites. Hacker News links, in particular, are infuriating without it.

I haven't found a way to do this in any of the Firefox versions available for Android.

My block list is mostly well known news sites.

Ublock origin works on mobile, and you can reuse your settings from desktop.

uBlock Origin even works on Firefox Preview Nightly, which I'm really loving. Way faster than normal Firefox on my old Nexus 6. Makes the phone feel several years younger.
