You are mistaken. You could have taken a few seconds to try for yourself before making this erroneous claim.

> NoScript also activates `<noscript>` tags which will allow content to render on Medium.

uMatrix can also "activate" the `noscript` tags, and this can be disabled/enabled on a per-site basis.

Can you explain how to enable/disable the noscript tags? I can only find a global "spoof noscript tags" option which does indeed seem to make <noscript> tags work.

I did base my comment on an observations. I wouldn't be using NoScript myself if I wasn't fairly sure it's the only way.

Seems I was wrong indeed, because there are no scripts listed in the Debug tab of the Inspector if uMatrix blocks them.

Thanks for pointing it out! removes NoScript

It's one of the per-scope switches, see: https://github.com/gorhill/uMatrix/wiki/Per-scope-switches

Thanks!

Unfortunately, Twitter's forced redirect still takes place even after it's off :(
