For many years (decades?) I got downvoted (here and on Reddit) for mentioning that I used NoScript. I even disabled JavaScript completely on Netscape Navigator.
It was in the context of sites that were unusable without JavaScript or security problems that only affected JavaScript in browsers.

Strom wird zu Jahresbeginn noch teurer

Summer 2015 I was uninvited from a project meeting. My coworker was planning the project and discussed it a bit with me. He wasn't the one who decided that I shouldn't take part.
Summer/Fall 2016 and the project isn't going anywhere. I'm invited to help. I do my best, besides the other projects.
January 2017 and my coworker is gone. He gave his 3 months (+ x days) notice and told me December 2016. Shortly after it I gave my 4 1/2 months notice.
The new deadline for the project was May 2017.
They launched November 2017.
