NoScript
NoScript is a good tool to see what works and doesn’t work with regards to Javascript.
NoScript or sometimes called NoScript Security Suite is an open-source extension designed for Mozilla Firefox, SeaMonkey and other Mozilla based web browsers.
Since a lot of web browser attacks require scripting, disabling “active” contents like JAVA or JavaScript will reduce the chances of exploitation.

I’d recommend becoming super familiar with chrome/webkits’ developer tools too.
if you set
chrome://flags/#enable-devtools-experiments and
chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-productivity-features
to true and add tools for debugging the major javascript frameworks – Rect = Rect Dev, Angular = Augury, Vue.js = vuejs devtools etc; – and you can understand javascript the concept of the dom and shadow dom, HTML, CSS and take a look at OWASPs’ top 10 you can get 99% of the work done that would otherwise need lots and lots of frameworks and extensions.
At the time of writing I think Firefox-Dev/Nightlies version – including servo is written in rust – is better than chromes own implementation but each to their own!
Thanks, Sam, very helpful info – thank you for sharing!
