Advice Request How to use a script blocker effectively?

[shmu26]

I installed NoScript in Brave browser. On most sites I can figure out pretty well what I need to unblock to get basic functionality. But I am confused when I come to a checkout page. When it is time to pay, I see several scripts that are blocked, and I don't know how to identify the legit ones that I need to process my purchase. If I unblock all of them, that defeats the whole idea. When you are entering credit card credentials, that is the crucial moment when you really want maximum protection.
What do you guys do? Do you research each script before you unblock it?

I try to unblock the scripts of payment gateways site that it uses and scripts (first party mainly )of the sites on the payment pages . Most of the time it works without any issues . Sometimes it breaks I try to google for some hints

Perhaps a better question is how much does a scriptblocker actually help to protect your credit card credentials? Many times the credentials are harvested from the site itself, not necessarily from the user's browser.

I use braves script blocking, every page manually whitelisted

With noscript it takes bit of learning to block right things, easier is ublock origin with medium mode and just falling back to easy mode in cases that you might end up failing

Isnt this more like blocking xss attacks? wondering how well does netcraft compare to scriptblockers in this case as it blocks malicious scripts aswell

ublock origin with medium mode

I think that is a good answer to my original question.
