EDIT: OK after some time playing around with the settings I understand it much better and the functionality appears to work well. I suggest people experiment with the settings a bit, or check out the noscript forum where there are some explanations of the UI if you find the relevant threads.

In the meantime, I will keep my 2-star rating until a proper help guide to the UI is incorporated into the addon as a link, and an on-boarding process for new installations includes a pop up alerting users to the guide as this is sorely needed, especially for users of the old add-on. This rating reflects my experience as a new user, not my experience now, as this is more relevant to potential new users reading these reviews.

---

I agree with others that I do not really know how to use this addon any more whereas I had perfect intuition of it pre-57 days. The interface is non-intuitive and is not really explained anywhere. After some time I think I am beginning to understand it but I am still not sure because I cannot reference what I think against official documentation. The latter would help a lot.

I don't blame the addon developer, as he probably had to develop it in his spare time in time for release 57. i acknowledge the effort to upgrade the addon to the new API while many other developers gave up. Thank you, Giorgio for that.

I do blame Mozilla somewhat for switching to a substandard extension API and not having certain vital API features available to developers to test until very late (and some not even yet existing). I realise there were some reasons to make the change, but they should have considered the effect on the existing users and developers and tried to mitigate it somehow.

While I agree that expressing such anger in obscene words is inappropriate, it is appropriate to give an honest review and rating. My rating expresses what I currently think about this addon and is by no means an emotional reaction to change.

I am sure that many improvements will come and user feedback will be acknowledged by the developer. I encourage him to ignore the insults and continue. My review and rating will improve as the addon improves in my estimation.

It was my favorite addon until now. It absolutely unusable. New interface is terrible. Old was userfriendly and simple. Even if i add some resource to witelist - i have problems. Addon just break look and behaviour of site. SHIT

Well, I must say, I used to love it. But the new version is not so easy to handle anymore. Sad, very sad!

Hope, that it'll be fixed soon.

Edit 03/2022: People are ridiculous, giving 1-star reviews just because the design changed a bit. NoScript works perfectly and that is what should count most.

Previous review:
Calm down people I know this is hard but no reason to give out 1-star reviews. There will be an update soon the developer was always on top of things in the past.

The new version is almost useless. Many sites won't work properly even with all allowed. The NoScript menu seems to only show a few of the scripts the page has so I am unable to allow all needed scripts. Even allow globally doesn't help. Had to disable the app completely. Please make a better version, I like the app and have been using it for years.

Last update has broken NoScript. Completely trusted sites still have blocked items which disable the visited sites.

The latest update (28th of November) blocks too many scripts. For example, I can't load images on Google even if the site is flagged as "trusted". By disabling Noscript everything works fine.
Please fix the issue.

Great Product, works well and provides extra protection

Review for noscript 10.1.3c1
After fiddling with noscript for a while, I see that noscipt is working for me , and I am beginning to like the new UI, but there are some issues with unexpected behavior.

For instance, if I create a rule to allow an insecure connection to wired.com, and then reload the page, my selection will seem to disappear (or revert), but in reality my selection is not shown because there is no insecure connection to wired.com so the site remains blocked. It is unexpected to see the rule disappear and block the page and might cause people to think it doesn't work. I also assumed that my insecure rule would automatically allow a secure connection. EDIT: This problem has been fixed with a recent update. Thanks

Also a smaller issue is globally allowing scripts only shows top level domain allowed, instead of showing all allowed domains, similar to how "temporary allow all this page" shows all domains.

Overall I think Giorgio has done good work so far at rewriting noscript, but I think it needs a little more polishing.

The good
• Edward Snowden endorses NoScript as a countermeasure against mass state surveillance he exposed. Read more at http://securitywatch.pcmag.com/security/321511-snowden-to-sxsw-here-s-how-to-keep-the-nsa-out-of-your-stuff

• NoScript allows you to permit which sites and add-ons you really trust to run scripts or track you
• Easier to detect and remove adware
• Also works as ads blocker
• Often significantly speeds up page load and save computer resources. Because unwanted scripts are block. Thus they don't need to load and run.
• NoScript is owned, developed, and supported by a friendly community

The bad
• Initial learning curve. But pass that it is easy to use.

Dass sich die Oberfläche geändert hat ist ok. Ich komme damit gut zurecht mit meinen 79 Jahren. Den Meckerköppen sei mal gesagt, das Sie das nicht zu würdigen wissen, in der kurzen Zeit dass Programm an die neue Version von Firefox anzupassen. Herzlichen Dank an Giorgio.

The new interface is horrible. Why did you change it that bad?
Somehow the functionality is even behaving sometimes very strange.

Thank You for all your hard work for providing us with this excellent NoScript Security Suite web extension & for your ongoing regular updates as with the previous build. I have no problems whatsoever with the UI, it works fine for me ( 77yr old ). I just do not see why there are so many moaners & ungrateful people.
Once again Thank You for an excellent web extension.

This gets five stars because i know where it's going :)
Speaking of which, enabling scripts globally literally enables all scripts, including those manually marked as untrusted. This can't be expected behaviour, right, GIorgio? :)

Big thanks to the developer for the hard work on this excellent add-on, the new UI is definitely getting there. Keep up the good work, ignore the naysayers - some people need to remember that change is the only constant.

Working perfectly, thanks!

I don't understand the postings with only one *.

***** NoScript (v10.1.3c1) is working fine *****

The UI has been extended. The functionality is the same as in the old one - only the display is bigger showing more information.
Even more you can get a list of your settings for websites now.

Users grumbling about the new NoScript should first update their addon and spend some time with it.

Thank You Giorgio for bringing NoScript to a new level. :-))

Seen couple of negative comments & 1-star rating for the extension. The developer was maintaining this wonderful extension for last couple of years. The developer of this extension asks that you help support its continued development by making a small contribution. At that time how many of you, those are giving poor ratings, bothered to donate the developer for this extension? It’s Mozilla & not the developer who had ruined the browser. If you are not happy with this extension, then move on to some other browser or older version of FF (ESR). I uninstalled FF 57 & went back to ESR only for this extension. Can’t use any other browser & without this extension, it’s impossible to use FF. On ESR, old version 5.1.7 is working perfectly fine.
Giorgio Maone, please ignore all the negative comments in review section. Will it be possible for you to maintain old version 5.1.7 for ESR till June 2018? Thank you for the support of this wonderful extension till today.
