More than NoScript, get Ublock Origin Legacy: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy Also, there's a forked dillo called dillo-ng https://github.com/w00fpack/dilloNG with mpv support on context menu that works fine with these sites: https://68k.news https://simple-web.org/projects/simplytranslate.html https://simple-web.org/ (several services without js).
