Then just put those sites on your trust list?

You can go through all the sites the initial HTTP request calls out to and decide which ones get a pass. This is how I ensure sites like gstatic, googletagmanager, etc. don't collect data even though the rest of the site works.

If that's too much, just open the flood gates for that site and trust everything there. At least it isn't just sending all your data out by DEFAULT.

That still breaks a lot of sites. For example, Wikipedia gets broken if you click any link and then navigate back. NoScript is just crap. If you want to actually block scripts for something without breaking everything else, use DevTools.

You can use Wikiless, an alternative frontend for Wikipedia which doesn't have JavaScript, and LibRedirect.

I call bs. I am not experiencing that on mobile or desktop this behavior you're describing. NoScript does not break Wikipedia.

It does it on my phone. 100% repeatable.
