When I started angel investing in the late 1990s, a tech investment included a significant technology risk, with the potential upside being groundbreaking innovation. Being an investor at this time meant taking a considerable technology risk and betting on actual tech, such as nanotech, semiconductors or biotech.

E-commerce, albeit hyped and interesting, was not considered tech. It was “Business 2.0”, plain and straightforward, hype included.

    Well, I recently left uBO for AdNauseam because it actively attacks advertisers by clicking every link (thereby leading to garbage data that messes up their stats), but it can’t operate with uBO simultaneously. I’ll see what I can do to copy this approach since I can’t seem to find a whitelist-only-JS feature in it…

        Oops, right. For Firefox, though, it’s tethered to Mozilla accounts for sync, right?

        I’m also hoping to find a way to reach and use a whitelist more easily, although I suppose it’s mostly one-time activation.

        But I think I’m gonna go the NoScript route that someone else mentioned here, since that lets you selectively enable some JS while disabling others on the same website.
