> Will actively block JS from loading in browser. It makes for a 'unique' browsing experience

It is unique in the sense that it has far fewer crappy paywalls, cookie consent windows, annoying "sign up to our mailing list" spam, tracking scripts, adverts, cryptocurrency miners, and pointless shit nobody cares about. Less RAM usage too.

With NoScript, turn off JS for most sites, then make exceptions for the sites that need it. Generally, it is a much better experience.



I was thinking that. And I guess, considering that his machines don't have a lot of RAM in them, blocking JS is a lot more resource-effective than running a bunch of browser plugins to achieve the same results.
