{shrug} The best solution to upstream antics is the one Jake Edge mentions, distro packages,
which I always strongly, strongly encourage Linux newcomers to favour over going to upstream
(absent rare reasons to the contrary). But NoScript / Adblock even with upstream antics are better
than lacking them. Fortunately, both extensions are open source -- as many extensions advertised
on https://addons.mozilla.org/ are not.
