NoScript Security Suite by Giorgio Maone

Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 12839, 8 years agoEDIT: OK after some time playing around with the settings I understand it much better and the functionality appears to work well. I suggest people experiment with the settings a bit, or check out the noscript forum where there are some explanations of the UI if you find the relevant threads.
In the meantime, I will keep my 2-star rating until a proper help guide to the UI is incorporated into the addon as a link, and an on-boarding process for new installations includes a pop up alerting users to the guide as this is sorely needed, especially for users of the old add-on. This rating reflects my experience as a new user, not my experience now, as this is more relevant to potential new users reading these reviews.

I agree with others that I do not really know how to use this addon any more whereas I had perfect intuition of it pre-57 days. The interface is non-intuitive and is not really explained anywhere. After some time I think I am beginning to understand it but I am still not sure because I cannot reference what I think against official documentation. The latter would help a lot.
I don't blame the addon developer, as he probably had to develop it in his spare time in time for release 57. i acknowledge the effort to upgrade the addon to the new API while many other developers gave up. Thank you, Giorgio for that.
I do blame Mozilla somewhat for switching to a substandard extension API and not having certain vital API features available to developers to test until very late (and some not even yet existing). I realise there were some reasons to make the change, but they should have considered the effect on the existing users and developers and tried to mitigate it somehow.
While I agree that expressing such anger in obscene words is inappropriate, it is appropriate to give an honest review and rating. My rating expresses what I currently think about this addon and is by no means an emotional reaction to change.
I am sure that many improvements will come and user feedback will be acknowledged by the developer. I encourage him to ignore the insults and continue. My review and rating will improve as the addon improves in my estimation.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Air, 7 days agoVery useful on a computer, however, enabling it by default on a mobile phone will block many important features, including but not limited to any AI features and video browsing
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19157064, 14 days agoCompletely breaks reddit on mobile, site becomes unusable. I only got it for help blocking reddits creepy tracking bs on this browser.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Cory Sanin, 14 days agoOne star for SidebarUtil.tab.js
Disruptive as hell and for what? Why do you need to know if I have a sidebar open? I don't even know what a sidebar is. Remove this nonsense. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19145735, 16 days ago
