Malwarebytes warning on Fab forum

[jpp72]

Thank you jpp72, it was a misunderstanding on my part.

No worries mate. It's very easy to get compromised so vigilance is a must. uBlock Origin is great and so is NoScript, Ghostery, SpyBot and Privacy Badger. I use these all the time and everyone has their preference. I haven't tried Malwarebytes in forever but i'm sure it has its reasons to flag the whole site.

Just so you know, uBlock Origin has a disable JavaScript function. Just click on </>. It's great if you want to read the NYTimes and WashPost without paying. Probably works on other newspapers as well.
This page on the forum seems to show that there are 16 JavaScript in operation, but I can't figure out how to list them.

I've been using both NoScript and Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin since their inception. I have 7 browsers installed, two of which are hardened. I use MB to tip me off and the hardened browsers to investigate. If MB says no I know to look into it. I've had my share of false positives but that's better than the other way around. NS usually only gives you domain names or IPs and it's difficult to determine which to allow and which to block.

On another note I USED to use FireFux exclusively but now FireFux looks and behaves like something a suburbanite phone-thumber would code. I've used FF since it was in beta. Most of the extensions are a joke now. NS used to be small can compact. Now it practically eats the screen if you click on it. If FireFux gets any more spartan and it'll be just another flavor of Edge. It used to have some really nice themes but now your choices are bland, bland or bland in your choice of pastel colors.

I've used that in a pinch on sites that seemingly won't completely load without the ads. To find out what .js is being loaded view the page source and search for "text/javascript" and if there is a "src=" it will tell you if it is local or off-site. local will have a relative or literal path where off-site will have an IP or domain and path. If there is no "src=" and code follows that is being loaded and executed during page load but this may also be a server side include (external file inserted by the server) which can be easily changed without changing the page source code.

Thank you, NewMelle. I was looking for something built into uBlock Origin but your method seems just as easy. All the JavaScripts on this page seem to be coming from the vBulletin program, as I suspected.
