The problem is companies trying to do one-on-one customer service over Twitter, it’s completely unsuited to that purpose.

Since BA won’t be fixing anything soon, I’d suggest using the uMatrix browser add on. It allows you to see the different third parties trying to do stuff, and gives you a great UI that enables both global and very granular control over permissions, which will make it possible to grant the absolute minimum permissions needed for the BA site to work. It’s pretty stunning how many third party scripts and trackers websites like BA will push on you.

What do you do if you don’t use social media? Will BA force you to start a Twitter account?

Silly crap such as this is EXACTLY why AAK (“Anti-Adblock Killer”) exists =)
Download and detailed, step-by-step installation instructions: https://reek.github.io/anti-adblock-killer/ . Most browsers are supported, although you will have to also install a userscript engine, such as Greasemonkey for Mozilla browsers, if you have not already. Links to appropriate script engines are included in the directions.
It works quite well, and nearly always, to boot. For example, it works flawlessly — along with a good adblocker, of course — on Salon’s witches’ brew of insanely numerous ads, autoplay video, and Bitcoin mining; I see NONE of those things, nor nags about them =D.

Oh, hey, that’s a nice bit of kit; thanks for the heads-up.

The UI is great. Clear infographics, easy to click on groups of domains, individual domains or subsets of domains to grant permissions or recind them, and a you can also disable uMatrix for the “scope” of domains. It makes it relatively easy to unblock just the needed permissions - relatively being the key since there are so many 3d party domains providing functionality, and some of them only load based on a prior domain being granted permission, so it can be an iterative process. Regardless, this is the UI that NoScript needed rather than the mess it became.
