- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13690719, 7 years agoNoScript is back on top - 10.1.6 is once again a must-have add-on for Firefox Quantum. I wouldn't use this browser without NoScript.
One final general option would make this perfect for me. My rationale is that, as a user, I have not way of meaningfully distinguishing between "http://abc-def-akamaihd.net" or "...akamaihd.net". Some may, but I admittedly do not.
So a general option to "[X] Only list / manage top-level domains" would make this new, beautiful NoScript perfect for me.
Plus it works exactly the same across all of my laptops and android devices!
Incredible! Thank you, Giorgio! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13687193, 7 years agoWar für viele Jahre mein wichtigstes Ad-On. Nach dem katastrophalen Neustart unter Firefox 57 Quantum (praktisch unbenutzbar) funktioniert es jetzt wieder wie es soll.
Löst viele Sicherheitsprobleme und erspart aggressive nervige Werbung, während akzeptable Werbeeinblendungen zu Gunsten seriöser Betreiber gezielt freischaltbar sind. Man übernimmt die Kontrolle, über das was man sehen will.
Für mich wieder ein absolutes "Must-Have" :-)
PS. Ehemaligen Nutzern der alten Version empfehle ich zunächst ein Reset aller alten Einstellungen (Schaltfläche oben rechts). Hab im Anschluss alles wichtige wieder freigeschaltet. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12968835, 7 years agoI previously said
"Sadly, I have to agree with some of the other reviews.....
The new version is quite simply, POO.
This is perfectly illustrated by the fact that I had to re-allow scripts that had been set as trusted just to post this sad reflection on what was, for the most part a highly useful and mature extension with a user interface that was relatively straight forward to interpret and use.
The new interface is Terrible to put it mildly. Its over 'simplification' and design has produced a bewildering experience that makes ones head ache in a state of near vertigo when first used. Just to add insult to injury, as previously stated, you will probably have repeat the process when the settings are forgotten.
No script has always been annoying when visiting a site for the first time. Identifying the minimum scripts allowed for site functionality whilst blocking the rest, was a tedious process but it was offset by the fact it only had to be done once. The result was a huge dividend of security, privacy, speed of page load, reduced memory usage and increased stability to the browser as a whole from avoiding execution of unnecessary and in many cases poorly written, bloated code.
In short the new NoScript is a horrible disappointment, in stark contrast to the wonderful browsing experience of Firefox 57"
At that time I felt the review was completely justified.
But, there is hope!
The UI is improving and in some ways, superior to the old which I think we all have to agree was a bit clumsy.
I understand now the 'forgetting' of settings directly attributable to the API changes in Quantum and Mozillas role in it and the unfair but understandable scorn from users like myself who have become accustomed to features being removed and UI changes from likes of Microsoft and others in the name of 'progress' and our willingness to unload both barrels as a result.
I persisted with noscript, temporally allowing just about everything, relying on Sandboxie protection.
It improves with every update to my everlasting gratitude and I cannot wait for the day I rate it 5 stars!
THANK YOU to the developer(s) for all of your hard work and persistence in the face of mounting criticism from people like myself.
No Script is in my opinion a vital extension for security, privacy, stability, user control and the enrichment of the browsing experience... - Rated 3 out of 5by ndugu, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13502877, 7 years agoThank you for the interface changes! I uninstalled this extension after the Quantum update because I found the UI changes frustrating, but I'm glad I gave it a second chance. I really appreciate the improvements, Mr. Maone.
I recall seeing a lot of nasty reviews after the update. I hope anyone who uninstalled the extension would consider giving it another shot. It's as good as it was before. :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13605915, 7 years agoMy comments were removed. I'm not sure about the reasons.
I switched back from ScriptSafe + Netcraft extension to NoScript for about a week. Overall, I think the current version of NS is quite smooth to use. The current UI is understandable but it is still far from perfect. However, I think it is worth to trade some convenience for better security.
I have the following suggestions for NS. Some of them were suggested before indeed.
1. Include a button to allow all scripts globally in the main UI. Sometimes when we do something really important, such as making a payment online, we would like to allow all scripts globally and temporarily. Having the button in the main UI would save us a few seconds each time. In contrast, the button "Temporarily allow all this page" has very little practical use in my opinion.
2. As some other users pointed out, get rid of the "slider" thing. It takes up too much space so it makes the list of scripts unreadable. It also makes the position of the buttons not consistent.
3. The list of scripts can be sorted in a better way. List the blocked scripted at the top and the allowed scripts at the bottom.
Overall, I think the current version of NS is much better than 2 months ago and it does what it is supposed to do now. NS seems to be the only firefox addon which provide protection beyond blocking javascripts. It worth 4 or 5 stars in my opinion. Thanks for Giorgio's patience to fix NS frequently despite the amount of hate comments. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13680621, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13664803, 7 years agoIt seems that everything works. But I have a questions ... how are things with the clear-click protection and management of the cookies? Or these items are no longer needed in the new firefox? Thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by AbandonInPlace, 7 years agoI don't know how you made this work with an unfinished toy "extension" engine, but you have always done amazing work, Mr. Maone. Thanks.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13664005, 7 years agoTout pour nous faire regretter l'ancienne version.
Les raccourcis "autoriser temporairement", "désactiver les permissions temporaires" étaient vraiment pratiques, un seul clic. désormais il faut aller fouiller dans les listes infinies pour autoriser ou non, pfffffffff !
Cette nouvelle version pour Firefox 57 est absconse ; il faut avoir une bonne maitrise de l'anglais et de l'informatique. A quand une VF ?
J'ai cherché un peu.
La version 10.1.1 Publié nov. 20, 2017 570.7 KiB Fonctionne avec Firefox 57.0 et supérieures et est en français.
Il faut bien entendu désactiver les MAj auto. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13626034, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13515566, 7 years agoThank you, thank you, thank you for the improvements to the new NoScript. A few months ago I left NoScript as the drastic changes made it difficult and ineffective for my continued use. I switched to another extension for a while but decided to try NoScript again today and I am glad I did. Even though it will probably not look the same as it did ever again, temporary permissions are back and it's much easier to control than before.
I am sorry you had to put up with the destructive comments in the past months. I would encourage anyone who left NoScript to come back and try it again.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThank you for your supportive words.
Even your previous comment, notwithstanding the 1 star rating, was constructive: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/reviews/982540/
Thanks for that too. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12490184, 7 years agoWhile I would never be so ungrateful as to leave a harsh comment I, too, feel that the new "wide" interface takes much more time to do common things like temporarily allowing a certain site... There also seem to be a lot MORE sites to checkl, with many variations on the main domain name - but that could actually be an improvement that I don't understand. Regardless, thank you for dealing with the "quantum-shift" at Firefox. 80)
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13645050, 7 years agoThank You for all your hard work ..while it has gotten better it has made me realize that I just do NOT like anything about the new FireFox......sadly they have gone over to the dark side,and the old clean look and functionality are now gone..again thank you for your many devoted years of time and effort....goodbye ,mille grazie ,a pesto,Andy
