I've been using this at ALL TIMES for the past 12y? and I just can't think of browsing without it.
In many cases when "content" is presented as blackmail exchange for enabling scripts I just pass on the deal and seek content free of dangerous scripts.

Libre-js in theory sounds good, but in practice .. it is not feasible to manage, or worthy of trust. Mega-Corps can produce libre-open-free-code and scripts, and still be problematic, as many naive people perceive what they offer as FOSS as "a good thing", and they have no interest in ever wasting a penny to produce "a good thing", unless they are selling it.

Although I DO MISS the old 5.1.. wui I got used to this over the years, but hands down I'd still prefer it over this menu.

Luckily most serious FOSS projects and like minded web-designers produce clean easy to read content without scripts.
