    If a tool is demonstrably indispensable to disable some browsers’ functionality, is it wise for browsers to have that functionality?

      There may be genuine use cases to run a script, or whatever the attacker used. The problem is the browsers will auto-run stuff, the user isn’t aware and there’s no way to stop it. All unlock does is provide the missing security layer called “don’t auto run shit from the web”.

      I like it being extensible instead, as some adblocks might be opinionated or unresponsive. It’s easier to swap adblocks then browsers.
