I'd recommend uMatrix over NoScript. I used NoScript for years but switched over to uMatrix a few years ago (at the time it was working in Firefox Quantum but NoScript didn't yet), and I like it better now.

It's quite a bit easier to see what's going on, toggle scripts and other assets from multiple sources, and you can change the defaults to do things like allow first-party scripts by default if you don't want to go all the way to full blocking.

It takes a while to get used to using a script-blocker like it, but it's pretty straightforward most of the time, and once you get your most commonly-used sites set up you don't need to mess around with it very often.




I had an issue where every time I restarted firefox it would lose my umatrix data.


Sorry to ask, but you clicked the padlock, right?


Nope. Is that how you save?


Yes. Otherwise everything will be lost when you close the browser.


There is also a cloud backup feature in the options if you are into that sort of thing.
