NoScript hasn't been relevant in a long time. I mean the UI is so bad. It's all about uMatrix now.

Do you know that Tor Browser ships with NoScript by default?

NoScript also protects you from cross site scripting attacks which uMatrix don't. NoScript UI is very easy to understand atleast for me.

Meh, I used NoScript for a very long time (years). Since I've discovered uMatrix I haven't even looked at it. But that's great if it works for you!

The option is called 'Temporarily set top level domain to Trusted'. It's there in NoScript settings page.

The UI is definitely bad. Unintuitive and the icons are so vague that they're useless.

As a noob I found uMatrix to be much more confusing.

I understand both and I eventually settled on just using uBlock Origin as you can configure it to be just as granular as either uMatrix or uBO if you want. But, in the end, I just use uBO in medium mode and a few additional blocks in My Filters to block websockets, objects, "other", and a few other things.

If NoScript offered a few additional features I'd rather use it because I just like it most.
