- 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13561329, 7 years agofür mich der beste script blocker. man muss in zwar selbst etwas einstellen - dafür gibts garantiert keine werbung!
- Rated 3 out of 5by Барон Бела, 7 years agoНа хлеб уже мажется, хотя до удобства старой версии еще работать и работать. Надеюсь, этот незаменимый аддон все-таки возродится из пепла.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13560145, 7 years agoHad better experiences with NoScript years ago. The new version with the current Firefox is bad. It forgets settings and is buggy. I'am using ScriptSafe now. It's the same as under chrome. This addon works fine.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13558998, 7 years agoNoScript my favourite extension, made browsing the internet a joy with no unsolicited popups.
But new interface for Firefox 57 is so useless it nearly makes it impossible to use.
It doesn't seem to save page settings for some sites, so you get constantly have to set the settings again for that site.
And the completely missing auto page reload of the old version is complete missing.
So please either put back the old interface or spend some time and make improvements to the layout of the new interface. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13558812, 7 years agoThank you Giorgio!!! NoScript rocks.
Ever since I know Noscript, i feel better being on the internet.
For a long time I used the "old" NoScript, loved it and feel without naked...
57.0.1 on the NEW interface looks like "the next level" - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13441018, 7 years agoW10 17 09, NoScript 10.1.5.1, FF 57.0.1
After lots of testing - really everything works perfectly.
Even better comfort when visiting new sites.
Very glad with the new release!
Thank you Giorgio! - Rated 2 out of 5by Anonymous, 7 years agoThe new version has to be fixed full stop. The UI did not need to be fixed. And now the app does not remember settings on some sites. I'm thinking about uninstalling this until it is back up to its previous quality.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Pairofolives, 7 years ago"In order to operate on this tab, NoScript needs to reload it. Proceed?"
I see this a lot lately. Seems the extension isn't working well. Also, the status icon isn't always showing correct status. - Rated 4 out of 5by Yoon, 7 years agoThis addon still working. The main reason people hate this new version is because they misunderstand the UI. Sure the new version lacks some convenient functions like block list. You have to configue every site the first time you visit it. But after that everything worked like a charm.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13557273, 7 years agoIn its current state it is absolutly not functional and productive. I liked the older interface a lot more.
- Rated 3 out of 5by nihi1ist, 7 years agoThe NoScript 10 UI is inconvenient, I would be glad if returned the old UI.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13556987, 7 years agoJust joined on here to give my view.
I've used NoScript continually since its inception and thinking back there were a few hiccups early days which over time got ironed out, I think it will be the same with this version.
There were lots of folk ranting when it couldn't be used on the new Firefox, some demanding that something be done instantly, which was obviously impossible.
Giorgio obviously got on with this version and possibly rushed both building it and putting it out, these things happen.
However, buggy though it is, it is useable and as with all similar programs when many folk start using them bugs surface, the bugs are a PITA but hopefully, with time, will be resolved.
Lets not forget, that thanks to Giorgio's time and effort over the years, many thousands of surfers, me included, have been protected from who knows what was lurking behind some scripts.
Why not cut him a little slack, even such as the mighty Microsoft, Google, Apple and such others put out buggy stuff and that's with their thousands of programmers and millions of pounds!
So why have I given it two ( for the time being ) stars.
Mainly due to two things.
One, to me very important, there not being available, from the day it came out, any decent instructions in layman's terms, as to how to use it, I'm reasonably computer savvy and can normally get my head around most things, eventually, but this had me going spare, marking sites as trusted then having them revert to untrusted after shutting down and re-starting was a real pain, until I discovered only this morning, whilst reading these revues, that a simple click of the little clock solved this problem, thanks to those who mentioned it.
The second reason was because of the initial buggy nature of the first release.
Will I continue using it, of course.
Why, simply because, even as it is, I can't find another program that is as good as this one and going by past experience it will settle down.
Thanks Giorgio - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 13556524, 7 years agoThere is a problem with the settings. Every time I close Firefox , the settings of what sites are trusted is lost. Every time I start Firefox, I have to configure each page all over again. This is very annoying.
- Rated 3 out of 5by hotsause, 7 years agoI met a bug , when clicked on the noscript button it maximized the firefox windows

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13555626, 7 years agoIt was really rough in the beginning - bad and buggy UI, settings did not seem to persist, etc. but at least since 10.1.5.1, it's looking good. I wish there were clear directions, but the developer did give some suggestions in a response or two below that basically clarified everything: click the naked "S" to mark something as "trusted." You will notice a clock icon to the right of the "S" which means that it's temporary. Click the clock again to make it go away and make the "trusted" status permanent. Then there is the "untrusted" button and the "custom" button. The custom button allows you to choose what elements are allowed.
Knowing how to use the 2 buttons, the "trusted" and "untrusted," and the temporary button should help clarify this extension's usage and make it usable again to everyone. I wish the rollout had been smoother from the beginning, but I encourage everyone to give NoScript another look. Also, I hope everyone understands what a monumental change FF57 has brought about in terms of extension development and that extensions like these that do so much behind the scenes have been made extremely difficult to maintain. - Rated 5 out of 5by Drone Pilot, 7 years agoVERY useful ad-on to have while browsing these days. LOT of thanks for the developers who work hard on this for free or on donation (I also donated too!). Keep up the great work !!
