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.

The best <3

Please, explain in the add-on description why does NoScript now ask for a new permission to "download files and read and modify the browser's download history".

Besides, the new UI quite sucks, but the rules list semi-transparency seems to be what makes the NoScript Settings page sluggish.

Whoa, this new version is great! Jus' like 2 girls 1 cup!
PS: Why NoScript need to read the download history now? LOL

EDIT: Ok, that's fine. Thank you for the reply. Still, the new version is unfriendly, like others say too.

EDIT after 2 years i tried it again: UI still sucks, my rating remains 2/5. Too bad.

Main good news continues with 10.1.6.1.
So happy with this fast progress!

• Added "Reset to defaults" button and "Temporarily set top-level sites to TRUSTED" option.

• 10.1.6.1 now seems to handle XSS much better, and recalls my settings.

This is precisely what has been missing. Visual ability to switch between sites from temp to permanent and back again is perfect.

Great progress, glad to NoScript back on track with this pure Webextension for Firefox Quantum.

In its current state, it is barely serviceable. It is still better than nothing, I know, because when I disabled it I started getting hijacked by rogue webpage scripts again. But it has alot of catching up to do to be as pleasing as the pre-Quantum version.

That annoying, user unfriendly popup window really has to go. The previous version had a more discreet and tolerable messaging UI at the bottom of the screen. Now it is in popup window format at the top of the page, in your face to annoy you very quickly.

And a suggestion of a much needed feature. An option dedicated to automatically allowing Facebook scripts. Since nearly every website now days has scripts for Facebook, it is getting tiresome to have to allow Facebook with nearly every website I visit.

Molt bona. Imprescindible. No li dono 5 estrelles per què la corva d'aprenentatge és costeruda.

Crashes Firefox and interface is way worse.

Excellent extension! The new version is receiving too much criticism. It takes but a short time to figure out the functionality of the new version. It is also a work in progress with some of the features missing from the previous version still to come. The developer deserves credit for revamping this in a relatively timely manner in order to comply with the new requirements under Firefox Quantum.

a MUST for everyone.... simply the BEST addon that has been developed for firefox

Great improvements from first new webextensions version. Good job. Keep on.

After a few starting issues (whitelisted sites weren´t saved permanently, the migration didn´t work so I started with default sites on v10 @ Firefox 57) I had some mail exchange with the developer. He responded quite fast and had the right answers. He also implemented a feature request for the debug window within 1 or 2 hours which fixed my problems totally. Now I´m happy again, great work, 10 points go to Italy!

The addon doesn't save trusted, untrusted and custom entries. Maybe the plugin stores information in non-persistent storage (which is cleared with any privacy-aware configuration).

This makes the plugin unusable, as re-allowing all services every single time is way more time consuming than just blocking scripts alltogether.

And even if you manage to save settings, they're not synched, so users who use two or more devices need to re-apply settings every time, on every. single. device.

The old version worked a whole lot better, it's a shame this level of quaity has not yet been achieved on the new WebExtension version.

The latest extension for Firefox Quantum is a real PITA because whitelisted sites are not saved, so they have to be recreated every time FF restarts. Extremely annoying and time consuming.

Still 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:

This crap does not remember settings, it loads default settings everytime I start firefox..

Been 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.

Great 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.

The 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.

merci pour cette protection!!!!
