Reviews for NoScript Security Suite
NoScript Security Suite by Giorgio Maone
Review by Rob Kent
Rated 2 out of 5
by Rob Kent, 7 years agoFirstly let me say that I am a long time user of NoScript and I have sent monetary contributions to the developer at least once, possibly more often. It is a *free* addon that obviously takes many hours of work to maintain. The developer should be given thanks and respect for doing that voluntarily. No self-respecting developer sets out to make mistakes or produce something that users don't want.
So something has gone badly wrong with this release. There are two aspects to it that I can see: the script blocking operation, and the UI. Some sites that I visited no longer work with NoScript enabled, even if you allow everything. Amazon music (play sample) didn't work for me, just one example. So that needs sorting out.
As for the UI, I initially found it complicated and confusing but I am getting used to it now. What happened to the middle-click functionality?
But until the developer has managed to fix the functionality, I have to disable it. I may just end up using the Brave browser until it is fixed.
Oh, and I would like a way to save my Whitelist so that I don't lose it if I uninstall and reinstall.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ash, 6 days agoThis app is a must have for any browser you are using. It lists EVERY SINGLE SECRET THING on a webpage. Not a simple "number" that the app is saying it's blocking (usually its not really blocking) like so many other apps! Chrome is removing it because they suck and want to track you. Thankfully FireFox and other awesome browsers are not!

posted 14 days agoNo it doesn't. Did you set also also ytimg.com, googlevideo.com, google.com and gstatic.com to TRUSTED (either globally or contextually to youtube.com)?- Rated 1 out of 5by Hej, 16 days agoMy review was removed. The latest update removed all settings, all sites that were whitelisted reverted to default i.e. untrusted, a hassle to restore since so many sites have a ridiculous amount of domains with cdn's and whatnot. I have now disabled automatic updates of this add-on because some (most) devs don't care if an "update" wreaks havoc as long as they get to constantly change something in their code, "if it aint broke, break it!" as their motto is.

posted 14 days agoNoScript updates don't remove settings, but Firefox profiles and extensions storage may get corrupted, which is not something under the extension's control. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18570138, 17 days ago
