What I do is a greater waste of time -- I have a separate browser profile for each individual site that I might log into, and javascript is only whitelisted for that one site in that profile. It's a real pain because whenever my browser adds a new config option, I have to update the settings in each of the ~20 profiles.

It has saved me a few times where some rogue javascript tries to redirect me to some unexpected site, and the destination site simply doesn't load.






I think there's a Firefox extension for this usecase.

Combining that with Multi-account container should make it easier to manage ?


Sounds like uMatrix (RIP) with extra steps.

dude what how do you have so much free time my lazy ass just has ublock origin with some lists enabled that my even more techbro help me set up and it automatically stops me from visiting suspicious websites this feels like way too much work

And Firefox is such a pain to automate

I just want every new machine to have my extension settings, but then it's four hours later and I'm trying to check if some policy file was obsoleted in version 60

Such a time sink
