kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 13446037, kahdeksan vuotta sittenWebExtension is a big change, so former NoScript is dead and NoScript 10 is just a new extension.
Hopefully the developer will probably recover some advanced features of the XUL version, but it will take time we must be patient.
As today, there is no alternative on Firefox 57.
It seems that developer of the excellent ScriipSafe on Chrome Webstore doesn't want to port it on Firefox.
He could have done this for Microsoft Edge since a long time, and nothing has been done.
And surfing without a script controller is I M P O S S I B L E
.
I just don't understand why Mozilla team has not developed a basic embedded javascript manager as it was in the very good former Opera 16 (presto engine), so it could have let all the time to the third party developers to create a more advanced extension.
This is not acceptable, THIS IS A VERY BIG FAULT from Mozilla.
The main issue I could address now to the developer is :
1) no possibility to grant authorization to a full domain (this is a big difference with ScripSafe which lets the choice to the user)
Example : I want to authorize domain and all subdomain of the CDN provider Akamai, This si possible with scripsafe by using the "trust" option instead of "allow", it is not possible here
I want to authorize all Akamai because due to load balancing process the CDN server may change a lot, and so you still need to allow various subdomain. Maybe the developer could implement very quickly a joker system allowing to enter domains like :
*.akamai.net
*.hd.akamai.net
In first case we allow every subdomain of akamai.net
In the second case we limit to every subdomain of hd.akamai.net
2) No synchornization option
Ideally, NoScript should store the users data in cloud through the Firefox account as ScripSafe does in the Google Account.
But maybe it is not possible according to the Firefox account policy, so the workaround should be to be able to synchronize data to/from a local path on the computer.
One just have to create this path in a OneDrive or Google Drive synchronized directory...and this should be done.
I have several computer, each computer has several users session, this is just annoying to set up NosSript for each repeating always the same process. And when I set up a new computer, I must restart from the beginning.
With ScripSafe, this is very easy... the extension automatically download and upload to Google Accounts (one must activate such option).
If ScripSafe is ever ported to Firefox with the same functionalities, I drop NoScript
3) Slow GUI
As today, the NoScript GUI is I N C R E D I B L Y slow.
As a comparison ScripSafe is incredibly fast to display the distant hosts list
But this version is a kind of quick done dirty version, let's be patient, this will be probably fixed in the future, but developer must know that the situation is as today not acceptable. I also suspect that NoScript 10 slows down the browser
4) Inefficient filtering mechanism
In the former XUL extension, the filtering engine of NoScript was crappy as it was oftenly forgetting a lot of distant host.
So one needed sometimes to switch to "allow all scripts" to see these hosts, and go back to "forbide all scripts", and so we could set rules for theses invisible hosts.
As compared, ScripSafe was far better as there was not such issues.
Finally.... XUL NoScript is dead and this is a very good thing because the filtering engine of NoScript was outdated and the author didn't want to admit that.
Let's see now if this brand new Web Extension addresses such issues, I can't say at this moment.

- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 19806246, kuukausi sittenThis is one of the most distinctive Firefox add-ons for me. To be honest, I'm not using it right now because I'm still learning how to use it more effectively. I'm actually trying to learn more about internet security, and I've noticed that using this add-on is great for protecting your privacy from malicious JavaScript. I highly recommend it. Thank you.
- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Heather, kuukausi sittenProbably one of the most essential addons for firefox, next to ublock. Great for security but it's recommended to have a tech background cuz the default settings can break many sites.

- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut noewaeda, kaksi kuukautta sittenit's an essential extension. without it, using the internet is like walking directly into a warzone.
on the strict setting, it makes browsing slightly more clunky due to having to give websites some trust, but it's usually not that big of a deal. - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Max Rower, kaksi kuukautta sitten
- Arvioitu 2/5kirjoittanut fidius, kaksi kuukautta sittenI uninstalled this extension because it randomly started interfering with browsing due to some nonsense swipe-style gesture 'feature'. Used to be a good extension but I'm not inclined to trust it anymore.
- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 19773062, kaksi kuukautta sittenDue to a bug that effected mobile scrolling, I disabled Noscript for a day and discovered what a horrible experience browsing was without it.
It seems the bug is now fixed, and in record time too. Thanks Giorgio. Fantastic extension. - Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut Tsuki, kaksi kuukautta sitten
- Arvioitu 5/5kirjoittanut tt, kaksi kuukautta sittenNew update gesture feature needs to be removed. Disabling the extention until it's fixed
updating to 5 stars now that gesture feature is turned off by default - Arvioitu 1/5kirjoittanut Kval, kaksi kuukautta sittenRemove gestures or add an option to disable this clunky gesture feature in the settings in the next update. Scrolling is impossible with the current update. For this reason alone, I'm removing this very useful extension for now, until they fix this annoying feature.

- Arvioitu 1/5kirjoittanut fcat435, kaksi kuukautta sittenHad to disable the extension because it prevented me from scrolling on pages.
- Arvioitu 2/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 12969656, kaksi kuukautta sittenDitch the gesture on mobile function and will be a 5* extension again.
- Arvioitu 3/5kirjoittanut Firefox-käyttäjä 13428877, kaksi kuukautta sittenI use it a lot and it has been a great tool but had to drop the rating after the new gesture system has been added since for a while I had no idea it had been added and it has made browsing a complete hell on mobile because it can't be disabled so I will have to disable the app until then.
- Arvioitu 2/5kirjoittanut Vee, kaksi kuukautta sittenWas good, but the new gesture system is horrible and makes scrolling on mobile more trouble than it's worth.
This should have never been implemented silently in the background without an option to disable, to begin with. No idea what the dev was thinking.
Had to disable Noscript on mobile until it's fixed.
