OK, to be fair: Since the developers released a short "manual" (no, it's just a few paragraphs) on how to use it and fixed this annoying bug with vertical scrollbars it's a very good addon. Thanks!

To all users posting hate comments:
Please test a bit to understand the new functionality.
I needed several days too... =)

i must be the only one who likes the new interface,i have been using noscript for years,yes it takes some time getting used to,but it does it's job

Non se ne può fare a meno. Indispensabile, grazie per i tuoi sforzi!

Piccoli miglioramenti ad ogni rilascio. A must have extension, anche con la nuova UI, bisognerà semplicemente abituarsi. Un enorme grazie allo sviluppatore.

New design was awful in the beginning, but after some time the handling gets better.

The fastest way to allow a site permanently is to double-click the left of the three icons. The first click activated the temporarily permission and enlarges the button, the cursor is now pointing on the timer icon so the second click will activate the permanently permission instantly. Knowing this it's not that uncomfortable to use.

I'm a longtime user, and a huge fan. As such I hate to complain, but I have to add my voice to the many that do not enjoy the new interface.

This is must have add-on for the privacy minded, as a matter of fact this is the first one you should add! Thank you for the best add-on available for my browser!

You have to click the watch away to allow scripts all time. the clock means temporally allowance.

Lo uso da anni, ottimo anche in questa versione

hard work for the new firefox

Like many, I like the previous version better. I miss the one-click on the bar button to temporarily allow scripts. But hey, I'm going to keep using noscript, I've been using it for many years, and I'm grateful to you for that. I don't share the anger and intolerance of many around here. Courage and continue in this project.

Sure, there is a big learning curve to the new version. But don't blame the developer for that! Firefox Quantum requires WebExtensions, which required a rewrite of NoScript, and major changes to how it works.

Aside from the UI (user interface) being a bit confusing, it just works (it even remembers your old site preferences!). That's what you want it to do, right?

Before adding it, take a look at the description, and go to the link shown there. It explains the UI and how it works. Click the "S" once for temporarily trusted, twice for permanently trusted.

For security software, the most important thing is that it functions properly. From everything I have seen, the new version does exactly that. I'm not going to knock off a star (or 4, like some people?!?!?) for a change in the UI; I chalk that up to Quantum (and Firefox's mistake of auto-upgrading to a major new version without asking).

Hello I must say I am disappointed by this new version, i never know what to do to get a clean internet browsing as I used to with further versions. Keep the effort, your tool is very useful. I think i will reset the rules I have, to re-start with something clean. I hope I will see clearer!
Update 13/12/2017 : that was a good idea (to reset the rules), at least to understand how it works without being polluted by old rules!
Keep the effort, change is never easy. 5 stars back !
update 18/01/2018 : the new version is to me far more satisfying since the 'storm' :) thank you Giorgio

This is an excellent addon. There are many people complaining about the last versions. Yes, the new version has some problems and sometimes it does not work as expected. But, please, be patient, those problems will probably be gone soon and it will be a great piece of software again.

So, stop complaining and start collaborating (by submiting bugs, donating or whatever).

Thanks for this wonderful extension!

Recently I gave this a 3-star review (I believe the version at the time was 10.1.3 or thereabouts), with my two biggest issues being the dramatic performance impact on certain websites (TweetDeck in particular just froze up for minutes at a time) and the irritating intrusiveness of the XSS popups, especially since it kept forgetting my per-site settings.

I’m happy to report both these issues have since been fixed some time in the last few days – I’ve stopped experiencing freeze-ups, and whilst I’m still a bit annoyed at the XSS popups, now they at least remember my settings so they stop pestering me when I revisit a site afterwards. For these reasons, I’m changing my rating to 5 stars, the same I would have given before the WebExtension update.

Finally, a suggestion about the UI (and unlike too many here, I perfectly understand you can’t bring the old one back). I’m getting used to it and it’s become almost second-nature to use. However, one thing I find somewhat unintuitive about it is the layout of the Default/Trusted/Untrusted/Custom buttons: specifically, how choosing one causes it to expand, taking up space previously used by the other buttons. I always felt it might feel simpler and smoother if the buttons had a static width and all displayed their text labels even when unselected. Then upon clicking one, it would darken or grow brighter or something to show it’s been selected, without changing shape or position.

Just my two cents. I know you’re getting hammered a lot and I sympathize. Your hard work and devotion shows. It’s been bumpy, but the new NoScript is now at a place where I’m happy to use it and recommend it. Please keep up the good work.
