hard work for the new firefox

La última versión es tan incómoda de usar que la he quitado.

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.

Нормально работает в новой версии.

I love this addon. It makes me feel more private on the web and in control of what faceless domains are accessing my data.

The one shortcoming I have is the large sites that do tracking on other webites like Facebook and Twitter and Google. If I go onto their specific websites, I need to permit their scripts to run. That's fine when I'm on their website - they're going to track my activity with or without their tracking scripts. The problem is that when I permit Facebook, I'm permitting it not just on facebook.com but also any other site that has installed their Facebook widget. If we can get a setting to allow first-party scripts or "Allow for this domain only" granularity, that would be great and make a fabulous addon an easy 5/5.

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).

Absolutely necessary add-on in my everyday browsing life. The new version works nice even though the interface needs more polish, which is to be expected after the release of a new version. It is a little bit unintuitive (that is why I give it 4 stars at its current state) but offers more choices in finetuning a pages permissions.

Go, Giorgio. This add-on rocks.

This addon has improved a lot after all the recent updates. Also, i may be in the minority here, but i really like the new UI.. The options page however is still sluggish, to the point that it is unusable to me.. ( with an 8 core CPU,16 GB RAM, Radeon RX 480 8 GB computer). So 4 stars because it still has issues.

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.

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.
