    the android version don't block anything on FF57 and the UI on the desktop has ugly scrollbars here

    The old version was amazing, truly a power user's addon. The new version... well I understand that you had to rush a complete redesign and rewrite... but it's too bad that it lost a lot of functionality. On the up-side, I do like the new interface.

    In particular I'd like to point out that the addon does not work in Private Browsing mode. Would it be possible to add back the Temporary Permissions feature and allow people to "Temporarily Allow" URL's for the duration of Private Browsing sessions?

    Actually a 5*, it might be language related but in germany the translations are way to long for the new interface (Words don't fit in the reserved space).
    Sadly it looks really bad.
    For the other stuff I like the uMatrix like way to control what gets loaded.
    Also, even thought I need to look how it works somewhere, that we got some https contol looks promising.

    It's not as functional as the original, and it took a while to figure out how to temporarily allow a script. You have to click twice on the trusted icon. The bottom line is it still works.

    1). As a regular NoScript user unfamiliar with code/script-related stuff, I must say this update is less UN-intuitive than the former and a bit more straightforward —still not a marvel in signage, indeed, but it never was, and seems it plays its role.

    2). Mr. Maone is not obliged to respond to rude demands for his free, voluntary add-on. Those childish users calling us "bootlickers" hopefully will go away after another "better" (if possible) add-on, or even better, come with an improved one themselves.

    I'm really glad NoScript made it to Quantum so quickly and the people who complain about missing features probably don't realize that this is a complete rewrite of an extension that has had the chance to mature for many, many years. Comparing the two is completely unfair and I really appreciate the many, many hours of spare time that has been put into this. I can see the UI could use some improvements, though. I would be very happy to lend you a hand with that if you want/need it (I work as a lead front-end developer), so let me know if you would like to take me up on that offer.

    The previous version was perfectly fine........... Now you broke it with your latest update. No temporary permissions like the previous version.... Disabled until you fix it.

    Update: I did not know that Firefox made a update causing Noscript to not work causing the dev to make a quick patch which lacked a lot of things that we liked. I'm adding back some stars for effort to push out a add-on so quickly after an update. Refinements are needed as the current add-on does not work as before. But I'm still going to disable it for the time being as its too confusing to use. Will check back daily to see if a new update is available and then update it accordingly.

    10.1.2 update: I take it back..... In a mere 4 days you managed to almost rewrite a new add-on with the same use as v5... Well done man... Well done.

    Ok. Good enough.
    Sites presentation is clearer and more readable now.
    Missing the temporary options and allowing all.

    As always great web extension. Issue is I am android FF 57 mobile browser and XSS won't keep itself checked. Once I leave the browser and come back it is unchecked again. With the old NS that and the other security settings like anti click jacking etc... stayed checked. Other than that I am getting use to this new look and settings. Thanks.

    The new design for granting / declining permissions for a script is a bit clumsy.
  • by im_uni, 7 years ago
    this is for the new version only. TBH, I do prefer the old UI, but this is so much better than nothing! It did take me some time to understand what's going on, but I'm OK now.
    The only thing that I don't like - for some reason on some pages all the scripts were forbidden (gmail), and on others - all were permitted (some weather forecast sites). There's no rhyme or reason for that.

    To all the people complaining about the new UI (not that I expect any of them to see this): Giorgio can't revert back to the old UI because that kind of UI is no longer supported on Firefox 57 and above. Nice things like native drop-down menus and dialog boxes are no longer allowed. Those were part of XUL addons. Now we only have WebExtensions add-ons à la Chrome, and if you know Chrome, you know that its add-on interface situation is the same. "Nice" UIs have been prohibited by Mozilla, on purpose, so your gripe is with them, not with Giorgio, the developer of this add-on.

    I do agree that the UI could use some work anyway, though, in terms of understandability, ease of use, and looks. But this is still an early version which had to be released in a rush, so give it a while.

    I'll still deduct one star from my previous rating because too much comfort functionality is missing at the moment. Temporary exceptions, selective and site-wide, were one of my most-used features of NoScript, and they're not in yet. Also, the options screen is severely lacking, a lot of the behaviour I used to customise can't be changed right now. I assume that all of these things are still possible, and just haven't been implemented yet. Part of that blame, once again, can be put on Mozilla for their hasty and clumsy shutdown of XUL extensions and the rushed und grossly unfinished transition to WebExtensions, which is making life hard for all add-on developers.

    Glad this imporant extension it is availaible again. Great Job.
    My existing settings migrated seamlessly

    - work left for the UI usability, but after three minutes confusion I think I groked it. Overlapping option labels are still messy and not quick and easy to use: I thought "temporary allow scipts" was missing, but was just hidden in overlapping menu.
    - really miss "temporarily allow" all of this page, but it may be hiddden somewhere..


    A star left to go.

  • by Firefox user 13498739, 7 years ago
    I was waiting the whole Week for NoScript to be ported on firefox 57.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH For doing it...but why did the UI change so drastically :(
    I'm actually dissapointed a bit...
