I use Policeman too, it's great, preferring that with uBlock Origin and removed noscript a good while ago now. I know that noscript had an issue with a white-listed by default domain getting out in to the wild, but they did [to their credit] patch it quickly once it was reported. But what if it never got reported??? Seems to me that noscript allows too much. And even with other options, I think it would be good to rest and start again with rules regularly as the only constant is change; you can't rely on a site behaving the same when revisited -- it may have changed ownership or it may have had a redesign for any old reason. Cheers A.
