Don't you love it when a website is incapable of showing anything but a blank screen when javascript is disabled

i have ad and script blocking, plus a few other things. if a site doesn't work. big deal, i'll go elsewhere.
certain news sites in particular don't seem to understand that they are not the only one with 'the scoop'. lock an article behind a paywall, i'll just click and drag that headline, then right-click and search. boom a dozen other non-paywalled sources for coverage of the same story, some with your exact article, even.
uBO by itself really shouldn't break anything.
Btw, if a website does not work for you, try to archive it at archive.org, and see if you can view it that way. Some of the interactive elements work usually, but of course the website will become dumber, but at least you can read it.
you need to go outside, my friend - enjoy the sun, touch some grass!
If, by that, you mean lots of empty space on the page because the ads are gone, I'll take it.
That moment of anger and confusion when you install a fresh Firefox and type in "ublock origin" in the address bar and get violated by Google's consent popup. The frustration with yourself because you should've known better as you go to addons.mozilla.org and type your query in yet another search box, setup uBlock Origin, block 3rd party and resist fingerprint, and no single website will ever work correctly again. With Privacy Badger also installed ;p
When does this moment of bliss happen? I must've missed it. All I noticed when I lost my firefox profile for some reason and had to make a new one was about an hour of fiddling with the settings, installing extensions, and messing with userChrome.css to make it look reasonable.
i find it funny when a site only works with third party scripts and frames allowed. white page otherwise.
like why are you requesting the most stuff on your website from third parties?
I go a step further and install uMatrix, and then only unblock the resources that are essential for a site to work right.
uMatrix seems to no longer be maintained or useful with uBlock Origin.
And when you sync it and you only get your bookmarks and history but you have to disable again the data collection and google as a search engine and you have to set up again it's looks...
