by Snake, a year agoSTILL BROKEN. Have same issue on multiple computers - NS fails to display all blocked elements meaning that you can't UNBLOCK them, meaning that pages won't render. Developer passes buck, denying issue. Again, same experience on MULTIPLE computers for a LONG time now, ever since FF's design requirements mod.
-----------------------------------------
Has been broken for a LONG time, pretty much since the new FF add-on design requirements. I use it on 2 different Win10 computers, both running the most up-to-date version of FF and NS (now FF 105 and NS 11.4.11) and both computers have the same issues: on many websites NS fails to show the correct number of scripts being blocked. This means that you can't *unblock* them, because they never show up on the list. You hit the 'Temp Allow All' button and NS shows a number still blocked, say 4, but the list does not actually show the 4 still blocked. This means that many websites are unusable because NS keeps some / many of the blocks off the list and you can't override that unless you Disable Restrictions Globally, and even then sometimes it doesn't work (see https://www.rideapart.com/news/609878/moto-guzzi-v100-mandello-pricing/ as a test).
Never has been fixed, for many months now. Seemed to have actually gotten worse these past 2 months, many websites aren't usable now.

posted a year agoNot a NoScript problem: on that site I had to
1. Set googletagmanager.com to TRUSTED, probably because they use gtag to load most of their further (many) JavaScript dependencies
2. Disable uBlock for the page, otherwise some essential scripts could not be loaded or even shown because were preemptively filtered by uBlock.
If you've got other situations like this please try disabling other extensions (such as uBlock) and report in the proper bug tracker, thanks: https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/issues/

- Rated 5 out of 5by KrZo, 3 days agoI've been using NoScripts for over 10-13 years now and what can I say? One of the best and most important addons on the market. Really highly recommended.

- Rated 5 out of 5by FrostbiteWeavile, 5 days agoSolid extension; one should never leave the homepage without it.
Granted, it can sometimes be a hassle to find the right scripts to turn on to get a website to function. Once they are found, though, it feels like said site has the potential to be hundreds of times safer and more convenient to explore with other needless (or even perhaps harmful) scripts turned off.
Though I should mention... as of late, McAfee Site Advisor appears to have been discontinued recently and is no longer working, so you might want to find a replacement for that link. - Rated 5 out of 5by dd, 8 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by phantom, 14 days agoAccess to all of my data?! NO THANKS. not worth giving over my passwords.

posted 14 days ago"Access all your data" is the (rightly so) scary wording for the permission to inject code inside the webpages you load, which is used by NoScript to provide selective protections (e.g. disable webgl per-site). Unlike most other software, NoScript does not collect ANY user data (let alone passwords), as clearly stated in its Privacy Policy. Furthermore, it is included by default in the Tor Browser, which would never allow anything like that. - Rated 5 out of 5by algi, 14 days agoAfter a long time that I use it, I can only confirm my opinion: Simply Great!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Christian Alain Martel, a month agoNoScript is a nice idea on paper but actual use is such an effort that it exceeds its apparent benefit. This app needs a feature so that the community of users can contribute to what features on a web site need to be refused and which are acceptable. For each user to have to go over this mountain of work is rediculous.
