Would using NoScript, a addon for firefox stop there virus and spyware tactics? Plus the usually security.. Like E-set, malewarebyte, spypro etc?

If using Windows, you're better off using Sandboxie and run Firefox in that. It locks your browser outside of your OS, some annoyances like if you download something through your browser, it will only be available through the "bottles" created by Sandboxie. You can create many profiles which are called bottles. But yes otherwise, NoScript in combo with Disconnect, RefControl, uBlock Origin, BetterPrivacy (for LSO's..also known as persisting cookies that don't disappear when you tell Firefox to delete all cookies once you turn it off) and Auto-Destructing Cookies is in general my way to go, but I'm in Linux, I still use a sandbox program for it there, it's called Firejail and you can have your programs all be protected by being sandboxed from your system, so even if you get attacked through your browser they won't be able to get to your system, you close the window and that session is gone forever. Chromium sandboxes itself, but when you install Firejail, it has a GUI and shows what programs it has icons for by default...apparently it's a good idea to play VLC through a sandbox, likely because when you install it and uncheck the box send info to improve" blah blah blah, it doesn't really I don't know, but if you have Chromium (not Chrome, Chromium, the open source project that google does with independent groups of coders). So if you open it with Firejail it's double Sandboxed lol. I'm really wondering why it puts the icon of the basic video player that comes with all Debian flavours of Linux and even Audacious (a music player). I don't turn them on through firejail, maybe I should.
