Lol, is that your first cookie dialogue? If you get that pop up, it’s usually a European site, where you have the choice. For non European sites, they just track you without consent.
I clicked no to all and still was able to read it fine. I’m in Australia, not Europe.
For more info, look up about gdpr protections for eu.
Great, it’s good to have! Also a handy way to see how many sites have dozens of trackers. I tend to permit the main site and then figure out what CDNs or JS it needs to display if it still doesn’t work. Interesting how sites like my bank or cell phone bill try to send everything to Facebook and Adobe. Sites like Gizmodo, I just give up.
The extension is for desktop browsers, of course. For each page you view, js is disabled by default and listed by the site the page is attempting to load scripts from. You can enable them one by one. Some pages work fine with no js at all. Some require you to enable the main page, some a cdn or two also. You can choose to enable js for a domain just for that visit, or permanently (unless you remove permission later, of course).
For example say you view example.com. If the one doesn’t load at all, enable js for example.com. If it still doesn’t load, enable cdn.example.com. If it loads, great, and perhaps you still didn’t give permission to Facebook, Google, “score card research” or some other bullshit, splendid!
So for your work website, you’d want to permanently enable js for the main domain and whatever it takes to make it function.
Thanks! I thought I had done that by marking the website as ‘trusted’ but the website kept telling me I needed to enable JS for it to work. I just need to get familiar with the configuration. I saw there’s a forum for the extension, so I’ll have a look there for documentation
I can’t read the piece without giving consent to a bunch of tracking permissions :(
Don’t use Yandex. Just use 12ft.io

Opening it with noscript, no problem.
Just installed the Noscript extension to Firefox. Thanks 👍

It actually made the website I use for work stop working. I need to learn how to configure it properly. I guess I’ll be reading a manual or wiki
Yes, most websites do not work without JS enabled. The key is you can do it from specific hosts.
What do you mean? A server? Is the extension not meant to be used for personal computers?

Archive link had some weird formatting, but Yandex worked: https://yandexwebcache.net/yandbtm?fmode=inject&tm=1696805087&tld=com&lang=en&la=1696357888&text=https%3A//english.elpais.com/usa/2023-10-08/the-united-states-a-seriously-ill-giant.html&url=https%3A//english.elpais.com/international/2023-03-01/ukraine-outgunned-10-to-1-in-massive-artillery-battle-with-russia.html&l10n=en&mime=html&sign=c7f9170b4471ff5e1a24381fe5636240&keyno=0
