Is there a way to block browser JavaScript from executing commands that retrieve sensitive information from my local machine, while still allowing JavaScript that is only used for rendering web pages?
As a security-conscious user, I've used NoScript since Firefox's early days, but its restrictive nature has become frustrating. I'm often forced to go unprotected just to access websites with multiple scripts running on different domains, which defeats the purpose of using NoScript and balances security and usability that it once provided.
Is there a way to block browser JavaScript from executing commands that retrieve sensitive information from my local machine, while still allowing JavaScript that is only used for rendering web pages?
by sensitive information I'm referring to
- local machine time
- local machine ram
- local machine operating system + version
- local machine hardware
- Serial Number
- Hardware ID
- UUID
- Windows Device ID
- Windows Product ID
- ...
greatly appreciate any insight
EDIT:
could be possible solution

- ~~LibreJS: GNU LibreJS aims to address the JavaScript problem described in Richard Stallman's article The JavaScript Trap.~~
- JShelter: Mitigates potential threats from JavaScript, including fingerprinting, tracking, and data collection. Slightly modifies the results of API calls, differently on different domains, so that the cross-site fingerprint is not stable. Applies security counter-measures that are likely not to break web pages. Allows fine-grained control over the restrictions and counter-measures applied to each domain.
Most of those things cannot be collected through JavaScript.Local time can.
RAM can only be approximated to protect user privacy. Edit: And it’s not available on Firefox.
OS+version are already in your browser’s user-agent string that is sent out with every request you make.
Machine hardware cannot be enumerated. JavaScript can try to guess your GPU based on what it can do with WebGL.
There is no way to get a serial number or similar.

Il caloroso benvenuto dei veneziani a Bezos! ❤️
Per chi è ancora su Amazon, Twitch, Prime & Co., contribuendo ad arricchire gli oligarchi del web e a finanziare (indirettamente) le politiche di Trump, non fate i servi di un tecno-feudatario.
Le alternative esistono, sono molte e funzionano.

Una vita senza Amazon: perché è ora di dire basta
L’indifferenza è complicità.
Ho vissuto a Venezia, per studio e durante la leva. Per questo, oggi mi unisco con convinzione ai comitati e alle associazioni cittadine che stanno contestando la presenza di Jeff Bezos nella città lagunare. Non è solo una questione simbolica: è una presa di posizione civile contro ciò che rappresenta.
Jeff Bezos non è un semplice imprenditore. È uno dei volti più potenti dell’oligarchia economica che gravita attorno a Donald Trump. Ha sostenuto apertamente la sua campagna elettorale, ha messo a disposizione il Washington Post quando faceva comodo, e si è presentato sorridente e in prima fila al suo insediamento, accanto a Elon Musk e agli altri signori del tecno-capitalismo.
Dietro la facciata dei servizi comodi e delle spedizioni veloci, Amazon è un colosso costruito sullo sfruttamento, sull’elusione fiscale, sulla distruzione del commercio locale e su un modello economico che concentra potere e ricchezza in pochissime mani. A scapito di tutti gli altri.
Ogni acquisto è un voto
Ogni volta che acquistate su Amazon, ogni volta che guardate qualcosa su Prime Video, che fate una diretta su Twitch o dite “Alexa”, state finanziando Bezos. State dando forza a un sistema che calpesta diritti, silenzia giornalisti e artisti, sfrutta lavoratori e svuota interi quartieri di botteghe reali.La lista delle accuse è lunga e documentata:
- Censura dell’endorsement del Washington Post a Kamala Harris (ilfattoquotidiano.it/2024/10/2…)
- Sostegno pubblico a Trump: “Se posso essere d’aiuto, lo farò volentieri” (corriere.it/esteri/24_dicembre…)
- Sfruttamento della passion economy su Twitch, raccontato in questo video su PeerTube
- Le condizioni di lavoro nei magazzini Amazon documentate in innumerevoli inchieste
George Takei l’ha detto chiaramente:
“Se Jeff Bezos si arrende di fronte al potere, noi consumatori dovremmo mostrargli il nostro. RIMANENDO FUORI DA AMAZON.”Come vivere senza Amazon e i suoi servizi
Vivere senza Amazon è non solo possibile, ma liberatorio. Dopo più di un anno di boicottaggio, posso confermare che si vive benissimo senza dare un euro a Bezos. Ecco una guida pratica per liberarsi, passo dopo passo:📚 Libri (al posto di Amazon e Goodreads)

Critical vulnerabilities discovered in Citrix NetScaler ADC and Gateway products
Citrix has patched two critical vulnerabilities in NetScaler ADC and Gateway products, including an unauthenticated memory overread flaw (CVE-2025-5777) that could expose sensitive data and an access control bypass on the management interface (CVE-2025-5349). The company strongly urges updates for customer-managed instances.
**If you have self-hosted Citrix NetScaler ADC or Gateway, check if your version is still supported and apply the security patches. This is especially important if your Citrix functions as a gateway/VPN server. Take note that versions 12.1 and 13.0 are end-of-life with no fixes available. After patching, restart all active user sessions to clear any potential compromises from these critical vulnerabilities.**

Xorg is nearly dead and buried. Nobody actually cares about Xlibre. Notice how the only thing being mentioned is the sidenote that this fork is run by a racist troll whose been kicked for cause from several prominent OSS projects. Literally the only reason XLibre exists is because this individual needed to start his own project because he's worn out his welcome in many others.
And, considering the geopolitical state of affairs at the moment. It's pretty plainly obvious that the only sort of person who is "anti-DEI" are fascists. And the only people making excuses for the fascists are other fascists. So, thanks for letting us know who you are.
This isn't coherent, and even if it was, the burden of stance interpretability is context-dependent.
He is the one with the politically charged README that reads plainly like the thoughtless garbage MAGA types in America put out. I mean cmon man, "[...] we'll make X great again"?
Also your shallow and brainless dismissal of all this criticism coming from his "detractors" (and who would not become a "detractor", after actually investigating his terrible dribble?) is defeated easily by just reading the actual words he said.
As in, for instance, the original source of his garbage antivax posturing that he posted in the linux kernel mailing list: lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/ke… .
These are not alleged opinions, he's just full of shit.
And this isn't even mentioning the fact that Xorg is going to be dead, should be dead, and will continue to die. And good riddance, too! Terrible and borderline unmaintainable.
The argument that choice diversity is good inherently is stupid, too. Wayland is a god damned protocol! There is no reason to have lots of diversity there! It has no tangible benefit.
There are already many different compositors that implement the Wayland protocol, and there are also many 3rd party extensions! Can you think of a single, material benefit to simply having different basic desktop protocols?

Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you don't agree
with that, you miss the all point.
I was merely pointing out that these opinions, whatever they really are, have more publicity from people criticizing the founder.
Why yes, friend, I will just conveniently pretend that you bringing that up is completely outside the context of whether or not to seriously consider the criticism.
And if you are trying to make a point of whether or not the ideology is seriously impacting the project, you need-only take a casual walk through the issue list, and find (among other evidence) that a suggestion to move to codeberg was criticized for... "DEI". Wow. How technically-focused.
The best from your point of view would be not to speak about it.
You are getting more and more incoherent the more of these replies you churn out. What, precisely from my point of view (which I guess apparently you know very well? the irony...) here implies that "not talking about it" is the best choice? That's absurd.
I find it very important to understand the motivations, technical and ideological, behind a project.
If it were true, all this hatred against the project would be pointless.
I don't spend any effort talking about in any other respect than telling people that they should likely disregard if for both technical reasons (it cuts out Xwayland, his commits frequently lead to very blatant regressions that are nontrivial, etc.) and ideological (his terrible, awful politics and motivations for making the project, to begin with!)
The reason I replied to your comment is mostly out of idle curiosity and a deepseated longing for genuineness and critical thinking of other people that I have not yet managed to kill (despite its impracticality in the modern age).
Free software is all about freedom, and diversity means freedom of choice. If you don’t agree with that, you miss the all point.
This is all such a massive and disheartening reduction of what software freedom is. I hope that you eventually manage to think less shallowly about this.
Tell me, do you have any particular, material distinction you are making by making a choice between desktop protocols? The desktop protocol is a purely technical thing, and I have not heard a single peep out of you in regards to specifics.
To elaborate, in Xorg, it is a very monolithic beast. It is very convoluted in its purview and carries a lot of preset implementation of its various facets. It contains an entire networking stack for deciding how to communicate windows over a network.
It is significantly less flexible and modular than Wayland, because in Wayland basically everything of significance is decided by the compositor.
This, ironically to your point, actually gives you more choice and freedom in how things work (this is also why tiling window managers love wayland to death, it's pretty easy to just build upon the basic wlroots implementation!). So I have to ask you, frankly, what in the fuck do you think you're actually saying right now?
The issue, in this way, is that you only seem to care about software freedom in the sense of the abstract concept rather than the reality. You seem to think of software freedom in the sense of "I either build and install this package, or I build and install this one", with an all-consuming disregard for the technical aspects of freedom. Which is impractical, and arguably antithetical to the very process of trying to foster software freedom to begin with. As evident by literally everything to do with this situation. My lord.
yes, apparently the development of Xorg is more or less abandoned in favor of wayland

TIL: Axel Health (axelhealth.com/) is still using Debian 8 - From 2015 💀
I don't know if they are actually using it only for the displays (that show patient numbers etc) or for the central configuration server, but in either case that's diabolical.
Holy shit

While the world’s got its eyes on the war between Israel, the US, and Iran, the Zionist death machine keeps grinding on in Gaza. Our friend Hamza just dropped a gut-wrenching piece showing the brutal desperation of Palestinians trying to grab aid while dodging bullets. Reposting the video from @dropsitenews so y’all can see what that nightmare actually looks like.

EVERY two hours I post about this giving circle we made with six of our friends in Gz to support the survival needs of their families. Your help has meant food, water, shelter, emergency healthcare, medicine, and more.
That's pretty amazing. So join in. 1328/1700 by Friday: chuffed.org/project/hope-givin…

Another take on the Russia Ukraine war:
As of 2024, most carbon emissions came from warfare, landscape fires & damaged energy infrastructure.
Military action released the equivalent of 51.6 million t CO2. 35.2 million tons of that was from Russian military's fuel consumption, & 9.4 m tons from Ukraine.
Warfare is a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions, aside from the horrors forced upon innocent people...

Can I prevent javascript from running specific command that retrieve these information?

in reply to Holeheadou92984 • • •You could monkeypatch some javascript functions like the constructor Date types, but there will always be things not thought of that will leak date info. Hardware identifiers are quite difficult to get in javascript and several browsers already obfuscate that info.
Honestly if you're very concerned, I really do think a virtual machine is your absolute safest approach, obviously the browsing experience is worse.

in reply to Holeheadou92984 • • •Harsh question: Do you have a real need to prevent this data from being collected, or are you investigating just for ~~funsies~~ best practice advice? There are a lot of posts like this where people overestimate the threat model they have and insist on needing to block things that are nearly impossible to, or at least have significant tradeoffs like you are dealing with now.
Javascript is also not the only source that sites can use for these pieces of info from your machine. Local time in particular can be estimated by looking up the rough location of your IP address then matching to a time zone.
Anyway.
I would assume you could technically fork localCDN (replaces remote javascript libraries with local copies) and then manually edit the local javascript library copies to remove the calls you are concerned about.
There's also options like uBlock Origin's methods of only whitelisting specific scripts. Much more flexible than NoScript. You can block scripts that are third party and only allow site specific ones fairly easily, without digging deep into the settings.
Bear in mind that your specific combination of installed extensions can also be a unique identifier though.

in reply to wizardbeard • • •maybe
yes
could you explain why it is nealy impossible from only blocking javascript from attaining "local machine operating system + version
"? I don't think this kind of information is relevant for webpage displaying. I dont think webpage will break if we ban js from doing so
that could work I guess when I have enough js knowledge
is it possible to adjust uBlock Origin whitelisting and disallow js that retrieve "local machine operating system + version
" from running?
Does this mean website can see all the extensions I installed?

I wouldn't entirely trust it, but enabling this feature in strict mode would tick a few of your listed boxes.
