A day without JavaScript

NoScript doesn't actually work half the time; even when you whitelist a site through it the site could well remain busted. Source: bitter experience.

Presumably this occurs when the site uses a CDN for their js libraries (or even their main js). After a few days you start to spot which domains need to be enabled and which can be safely ignored.

Can you whitelist a CDN but only for a specific site?

Best i recall, even if you whitelist a CDN it only comes into action if you whitelist the root domain of the site you are visiting.

Beyond that i guess there is GRE, where you can build "firewall" rules.

For example i have Facebook blocked via it unless i visit Facebook.com directly, thus they don't see me browsing all manner of sites via their like buttons and comment boxes.

Depends on your blocker. uBlock Origin does this well.
