NoScript is a great customizable addon to allow\block the scripts you want for each website. It's quite useful when browsing random unsafe ones or to stop annoying ads.

Maybe an issue is that you don't always know what's good and what's not and have to fiddle with the permissions for each first access. Also, it can be a pain when switching sites during payments, until set up properly.

IMO it should come with basic important rules for the most common\important sites\services.

Lately, however, I'm getting again the old bug that keeps tabs stuck in loading until I disable\re-enable the addon. I hope it will be fixed.

It is cool

2 stars because i cant enapble this addon for only one site on Firefox, like in Chrome....

I've been using this at ALL TIMES for the past 12y? and I just can't think of browsing without it.
In many cases when "content" is presented as blackmail exchange for enabling scripts I just pass on the deal and seek content free of dangerous scripts.

Libre-js in theory sounds good, but in practice .. it is not feasible to manage, or worthy of trust. Mega-Corps can produce libre-open-free-code and scripts, and still be problematic, as many naive people perceive what they offer as FOSS as "a good thing", and they have no interest in ever wasting a penny to produce "a good thing", unless they are selling it.

Although I DO MISS the old 5.1.. wui I got used to this over the years, but hands down I'd still prefer it over this menu.

Luckily most serious FOSS projects and like minded web-designers produce clean easy to read content without scripts.

Works mostly well, but since quite while it *always* reports cross-site scripting alerts when using ebay.de, an absolute nuisance.

NoScript is essentially an extra layer of ballistic glass on top of your antivirus when using Firefox, and goes great with an adblocker, such as Adblock Plus.

A good percentage of malware is spread through sketchy site scripts on dubious sites, and even some ads. A lot of that can be prevented by using NoScript and Adblock Plus.

Remember to allow scripts for sites you completely trust.
