I don't know much about noscript. Does it disable Javascript completely
except on the sites of my whitelist?
I don't know much about LibreJS either, but I thought it has some kind of
recognition function for proprietary javascript and does not disable all
scripts by default, but I may be
Yes to your first question. By default (after you clean out the whitelist),
JS is disabled everywhere.
Then you gradually build your whitelist back up, for your banking sites and
other mission-critical browsing ...
Simplest and easiest way to do so is hovering the small NoScript button
LibreJS tries to find out what scripts are nonfree and non-trivial, but it

I didn't expect the situation being this bad
I think noscript is not a very good solution, because I only can choose
between I want to use this site because I need it and I don't want to use

annoying tendency to split text entry boxes into more lines) and
