- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13712709, 7 years agoThis addon is fantastic. Thank you SO much for continuing to update YesScript (2) for Firefox Quantum. I was keeping Firefox from updating to Quantum just for YesScript to work, so I was really happy to see YesScript 2 a few days ago. You're awesome, Mr. Developer!

Thank you ! - Rated 4 out of 5by PatheticCockroach, 7 years agoNice replacement to YesScript after the WebExtension Armageddon.
That being said, I'm not sure what to think of that "half blocking" state. It seems smart at first, but I already use other extensions to block toxic external scripts (uBlock & Ghostery), so I'm not sure I'll ever really need it. In all the time I've used YesScript, I've never felt the need for a partial block. Meanwhile, the interesting state (block all) is now 2 clicks away instead of one (not to mention the auto-reload). It would be better to have half blocking in last position IMHO
Edit (since unfortunately it's impossible to reply to replies): I don't think many users of this add-on don't also have stuff like uBlock. That would be an interesting stat to have though.Developer response
posted 7 years agoEdit: I've just released a new version (4.3) in which I changed the order of blocking because it will suit better this way in practice. So you are a single click away from full blocking now. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13550873, 7 years agoThank you so much for your response to my query. I can now use my YesScript2. And I love the half-block.

- Rated 5 out of 5by /\/\/\/, 7 years agoDoes exactly what it says on the tin. A worthy Quantum-era successor to the original YesScript addon. Simple and effective!

- Rated 5 out of 5by SleepExpert, 7 years agoThe original YesScript was the only legacy extension I was worried about losing when moving to FireFox 57. IMO, being able to blacklist specific domains from running scripts (if you pay attention, you'll notice most ad-heavy websites are displaying ads from the same set of domains using iframes) is must-have functionality for browsing the web (some other browsers -- which I won't name here -- have this built-in).
With the latest update to version 2.5 (applies script blocking policy to pages loaded in iframes), YesScript2 does everything I used the original YesScript for. I also like the way YesScript2 handles the blocklist better than the original. In the original YesScript, you had to add an entry for http and https if you wanted to block both. YesScript2 just needs one entry for a domain.
I guess it's a feature of the new WebExtensions but it's also cool that I didn't have to restart Firefox after updating. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13420543, 7 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13420543, 7 years agoI've been dreading 57 since there was no replacement for YesScript...Now there is. Would be perfect if there was a screen that could view (or edit) a list of blacklisted sites. Hopefully in a newer version.

Couldn't figure out how to reply to your reply..so....
"..then you can easily do that by using Firefox's Sync feature. You just sign in and all of your bookmarks, settings and extension storage will be copied over to your other devices at once. It is convenient."
For some reason, this didn't work. The sync copied WebScrpt 2 extension, but my sites were not copied over.
-----------------ll want to view and edit the blacklist, you do that now as well by editing the following file with the editor of your choice:
[Your Mozilla folder] / firefox / * / browser-extension-data / yesscript2* / storage.js"
The file format that I use for the blacklist looks like this, so you can easily edit it however you like it:
{"urls":["domain1.com","domain2.com","somethingelse.com"]} "
Thanks, I figured that out by "exploring". What would be nice is button in YesScript which would open this up (perhaps in Notepad) Maybe add the above line as a read-only help line. Again, thanks for the extension.Developer response
posted 7 years agoHappy to hear you've found the replacement. Actually I believe you don't need an option to view and edit the list of the blacklisted sites because if your intention is to export it from one account and import it into another, then you can easily do that by using Firefox's Sync feature. You simply sign in and all of your bookmarks, settings and extension storage will be copied over to your other device at once. It is convenient.
However if you still want to view the blacklist, you can do that now as well by opening the following file in a text editor (editing this file has no effect though):
[Your Mozilla folder] / firefox / * / browser-extension-data / yesscript2* / storage.js
Your Mozilla folder can typically be found on a Windows system in C:\ users \ yourname \ AppData \ Roaming \ Mozilla. On Linux systems you can find it in / home / yourname / .mozilla. For further information on this, see more here:

The file format that I use for the blacklist looks like this:
{"urls": ["domain1.com", "domain2.com", "somethingelse.com"]}

Reply #2 : May I ask why you want to edit the blacklist? I could add an option but it would increase the code base that I wouldn't want if avoidable. More lines of code is harder to be maintained and more work to be inspected for future changes. Write me to my email if you need more help and clarification: mail@log69.com
And Sync should really work. Are you using the latest stable version of FF?
Edit: with version 4.0 I'v made several fixes and improvements to the Sync feature, so now it would work properly.
