i tried turning off scripts a while back

i could refresh any page and it would near-instantly return me to the same scroll position without jumping around as scripts load

i didn't have to feel so cautious about sites abusing my browser to show me popups, subscription forms or ads

it felt really empowering for some reason

So why did you turn it back on? NoScript allows you to have it off by default and turn it back on on sites it's actually needed on.
