Hm. I wonder if Wired works in Lynx*? Obviously it’s not a very pretty experience and not especially easy to use either.
* My go-to browser for fan wikis hosted on wikia and other sites prone to browser-malaise or questionable scripts. I recently threw a gen 6 Core i7 with 32 GB of RAM at them in a test and they still gave stock Chrome stutters.
I went to test it and it navigated the site fine but the first article that sounded interesting was a Gallery and I wasn’t prepared to download seven images to find out what it was actually about. 
Well, at least not in Lynx anyway.
Do still kind of want to know what an “e Ink phone case” is. At any rate, I guess if you block enough scripts it starts working again. 
Doesn’t make for enjoyable Friday evening / Saturday afternoon perusal of Wired in any case.
I used to use NoScript back in the … Firefox 2.6ish to 3.0ish range? I’d run 2-3 really underpowered Linux computers where I’d hodged the original distro from this or that (the most recent was a Kubuntu) usually with xfce to make it usable in the first place. Running a crap ton of client-side scripts on the whims of (whoever was paying to make me look at things) was not on the agenda.
Haven’t really felt the need since then (although I have looked at their code from time to time … to paraphrase Kirk, “I don’t think these [companies] can code!”).
The one that still irks me is the news sites. “You’ve read 1 of 3 articles you can read for free this month! Subscribe now!” I’ve yet to see it go from 1 of X to 2 of X because I’m don’t have occasion to read any one news site more than 12 times in one year (and I rarely clear cookies … if I anticipate an issue, I use Incognito). But they’re still telling me every time I go that I’ve read 1 of X articles.
At the point they tell me that, I haven’t even read 1. They’re interrupting my research. 
Came for the ad blocker complaining, actually posted for the IPAs. 
I haven’t had the pleasure of actual English IPA but here are two of my local favorites (local by U.S. reckoning at least). Locals who complain about IPAs being overhopped, I steer in the direction of the eight point. Locals who like a very hoppy but extremely well balanced IPA, I steer toward the Hoppyum.
If I thought they’d survive the trip (and customs / import-export whatever!), I’d offer some in trade.
(This post was going to be muuuuch longer. It’s still pretty long. Sorry.)
