by Snake, 2 years agoSTILL BROKEN. Have same issue on multiple computers - NS fails to display all blocked elements meaning that you can't UNBLOCK them, meaning that pages won't render. Developer passes buck, denying issue. Again, same experience on MULTIPLE computers for a LONG time now, ever since FF's design requirements mod.
-----------------------------------------
Has been broken for a LONG time, pretty much since the new FF add-on design requirements. I use it on 2 different Win10 computers, both running the most up-to-date version of FF and NS (now FF 105 and NS 11.4.11) and both computers have the same issues: on many websites NS fails to show the correct number of scripts being blocked. This means that you can't *unblock* them, because they never show up on the list. You hit the 'Temp Allow All' button and NS shows a number still blocked, say 4, but the list does not actually show the 4 still blocked. This means that many websites are unusable because NS keeps some / many of the blocks off the list and you can't override that unless you Disable Restrictions Globally, and even then sometimes it doesn't work (see https://www.rideapart.com/news/609878/moto-guzzi-v100-mandello-pricing/ as a test).
Never has been fixed, for many months now. Seemed to have actually gotten worse these past 2 months, many websites aren't usable now.

Developer response
posted 2 years agoNot a NoScript problem: on that site I had to
1. Set googletagmanager.com to TRUSTED, probably because they use gtag to load most of their further (many) JavaScript dependencies
2. Disable uBlock for the page, otherwise some essential scripts could not be loaded or even shown because were preemptively filtered by uBlock.
If you've got other situations like this please try disabling other extensions (such as uBlock) and report in the proper bug tracker, thanks: https://github.com/hackademix/noscript/issues/

- Rated 5 out of 5by Ole, a month agoBeen a NoScript user for years. Not a fan of letting arbitrary code on my machines.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12962545, a month agoFor me it mucked up Firefox, giving me "Enable Firefox" (already enabled) and forcing Firefox to ask for permission to open each site. I mention this to give the head's up. BUT as someone wiser said, it's "an awesome addon, [but] you have to be extremely careful with it. It can really mess up your web experience if you don't know how to use it."

- Rated 4 out of 5by chxrlotte_xo, 2 months agoIt works well... TOO well. It does a great job at blocking all the stuff it needs to, but compared to other extensions like uBlock, it causes almost every site to break - I have to constantly go in and set a load of stuff to trusted just for even basic site functionality to work. It's an eye-opener; you really get to see what random stuff every site is trying to ping off about you, but at the same time, everything breaks. For this reason it's just become an annoyance to me and I've gone back to uBlock.
- Rated 5 out of 5by WebDesGuy, 2 months agoFantastic extension, don't go out on the web without it! There are some sites that I give permanent access, others temporary access, and others the default. Only a very few have made it into the "Untrusted" column, banished forever, lol.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Goldpath, 2 months agoExcellent beginner add-on, by which i mean if you wants something that works and is easy to use this is the one for you. Not technical experience needed to use.
