Remember when they had a "kill switch" for javascript?
It's available as an extension: https://webextension.org/listing/javascript-toggler.html
Yeah. Used to be native. Like the slop kill switch currently is. Then won't be.
For years and years I've been using this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yesscript2/
Yeah, as long as it made any sense to browse the web without JS. These days you need at least an allow list.
