- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12727415, 7 years agoStill utterly indispensable, and still the first add-on that gets installed to any Firefox installation.
As for the recent UI changes: the developer's hands are tied (VERY tied) by Mozilla's changes to Firefox v57+, which completely removed the earlier support structures - so instead of complaining, please show a little more respect and learn something of the background/new interface:

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12583337, 7 years agoBeen using it for years but had always found the NS interface clumsy and painful to use. No more. I really like the new changes they made in the WE extensions. It's alot more compact with all the options next to each site as opposed to spread apart in a messy sprawling menu. Really good change. I really appreciate having the ability to reload the page directly from the no-script menu as well, making the trial and error of figuring out which sites are necessary and which are ads much easier.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 10507556, 7 years agoGreat job on this Giorgio! The interface that users are whining about is by far less confusing than uMatrix and more stable than ScriptSafe. I think this is an amazing time for developers to continue to put out work that is making a difference in a now fast and modern Firefox. People can't handle change and for those that are struggling with the learning curve there are ample choices. Giorgio, I think the world of all the time you spent on this.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13574269, 7 years agoThe new interface and options screen is not very good. It used to be slick looking now its just confusing and ugly. Reminds me of very old websites where the fonts are huge and colorful. Long time users can probably find their way around still but new users will think its a piece of junk.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13573279, 7 years agoHopefully, NoScript will soon be a usable piece of software again. The options are manageable but difficult to use without manual or tutorial. It is possible to form a group via the input field. But then you have to edit each line individually. It would be good to have a checkbox in front of each line. The selected operation should then apply to the selected rows. I find it unfortunate to have to give lines the "default status", then close the window and open it again to remove entries. Where is the problem with the "Delete-Button"? To the user interface could be improved much more. Html is powerful if you know to use it. I hope, you will find the time to improve this. I believe, it will take less then 3% of the time to code the base, but these 3% could lead to 99% user-satisfaction. Thank you.

Hope it helps - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13572041, 7 years agoWhile I am personally also not quite happy about the recent version change, I am glad that this add on receives active development. It is a GOOD addon, despite the fact, that not everything has improved with the recent update.
There are bound to be setbacks when redeveloping large parts of an application.
Personally, I like the interface, but there are some things I miss from the old interface - like the option to allow scripts globally (temporarily), which I find necessary at times. To do that, I have to go into the configuration screen- which has a bug and freezes for about a minute - on all my machines.
I'd like to thank the developer for the effort he put into this. Please keep up the good work, I am sure this addon will receive top reviews again soon! - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13569810, 7 years agoIt took me 2 hours of playing with this new version of noscript, but I've finally figured out how to use this non-intuitive version. I was like most here thinking it was totally ruined, but in fact I just had no clue how to use it. One nice thing, clicking "Trusted" only temporarily trusts a site (unless you click it twice). Be careful when playing with "Default" -for any site- as it changes settings globally (not intuitive at all)!!!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13569382, 7 years agoThank you Giorgio.
I finally understand by reading https://hackademix.net/2017/12/04/noscript-quantum-vs-legacy-in-a-nutshell-2/
It works perfectly on my Firefox 57 quantum so far although a bit complicated. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13567547, 7 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13566908, 7 years agoI have used noScript for years now. It is an essential part of my browsing. However since Quantum the UI for it is no longer intuitive and I am having issues running other extensions such as flipIt (flipboard) because I see no way to allow flipboard script to run.
I would really like to see the old UI return as it was way more intuitive. Now I have to go through multiple steps to get to the allow script option for just a few scripts on a page.
Also if there is a method in which to cross check what kind of scripts are running when using certain extensions like flipIt (flipboard) are activated that would be fantastic as well.
As of now it appears I need to run my fireFox without no Script because I am not able to get the functionality I once had before Quantum. Which I am sure will sooner or later become available.
thanks for the work on this addOn it is great!
Only reason it is 3 stars and not 5 is because it is not quite there as far as quantum compatibility and functioning. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13141862, 7 years ago
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13565802, 7 years agoBefore latest Firefox update, I would have given this add-on a 5. The current version has left me disappointed.

- Rated 3 out of 5by StevenH928, 7 years agoI understand everyone's frustration but they need to take into account that Firefox has drastically changed an add-on authors are having to recreate their work from scratch. The fact that this person has chosen to tackle this challenge is to be commended and I'm sure as time goes by more functionality will be added, bringing it closer to the product you know and love.
So just chill and let the coder do his thing. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13562716, 7 years ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13372577, 7 years agoIt does work (more or less) so I cannot justify a 1-star rating. But like others have said, this is not the NoScript we knew and loved. And while I know there is a temptation to just blame Firefox57 for old addons no longer working well, the truth is that we cannot blame Firefox57 for the dreadful new interface that NoScript has, nor for the buggy way it works (forgetting your settings, for example).
I don't want to be overly harsh here. For many years this developer has given us a fantastic product that millions of us found "essential". For that he must be commended. However, the new NoScript no longer has a place in my little "arsenal of defence". I've moved on.
If anyone is interested in alternatives, I find uBlock Origin is enough for my needs, provided the "I'm an advanced user" option is checked off and third party scripts / frames are globally blocked ("medium blocking mode", as per the author). If you want more power, there is uMatrix - still not a 100% replacement for NoScript but good enough for the vast majority of people.
