I'm okay with the downgraded performance. :) My philosophy on software has

Hm, that's odd. Regexr runs in a new profile, but it does not run in

If I were going that route, I'd be using regex-builder in Emacs, but
sometimes even it isn't interactive enough.

Which script?
Does it have a regex key on the side or elsewhere?
I'm using Regexr because I want something like Daring Fireball's
Markdown Web Dingus, but for regular expressions.
https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/dingus
The '$' (end) of any line that matches '^x '.
Try uMatrix instead. It provides most, if not all, functions provided by
NoScript.
I don't remember what it did, but I tried -n, and it gave a worse
result.
You could do what I do to get up-to-date packages for Trisquel 7, which
has a few packages, like Mumble, that are deprecated.
Install GNU Guix:
https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Binary-Installation.html
Then, install GNU IceCat:
guix package -i icecat
I'm having issues running Regexr in Abrowser.

Regexr is a free software web app for interactively exploring regular
expressions.
