"Sadly, I have to agree with some of the other reviews.....
The new version is quite simply, POO.
This is perfectly illustrated by the fact that I had to re-allow scripts that had been set as trusted just to post this sad reflection on what was, for the most part a highly useful and mature extension with a user interface that was relatively straight forward to interpret and use.
The new interface is Terrible to put it mildly. Its over 'simplification' and design has produced a bewildering experience that makes ones head ache in a state of near vertigo when first used. Just to add insult to injury, as previously stated, you will probably have repeat the process when the settings are forgotten.
No script has always been annoying when visiting a site for the first time. Identifying the minimum scripts allowed for site functionality whilst blocking the rest, was a tedious process but it was offset by the fact it only had to be done once. The result was a huge dividend of security, privacy, speed of page load, reduced memory usage and increased stability to the browser as a whole from avoiding execution of unnecessary and in many cases poorly written, bloated code.
In short the new NoScript is a horrible disappointment, in stark contrast to the wonderful browsing experience of Firefox 57"
At that time I felt the review was completely justified.
But, there is hope!
The UI is improving and in some ways, superior to the old which I think we all have to agree was a bit clumsy.
I understand now the 'forgetting' of settings directly attributable to the API changes in Quantum and Mozillas role in it and the unfair but understandable scorn from users like myself who have become accustomed to features being removed and UI changes from likes of Microsoft and others in the name of 'progress' and our willingness to unload both barrels as a result.
I persisted with noscript, temporally allowing just about everything, relying on Sandboxie protection.
It improves with every update to my everlasting gratitude and I cannot wait for the day I rate it 5 stars!
THANK YOU to the developer(s) for all of your hard work and persistence in the face of mounting criticism from people like myself.
No Script is in my opinion a vital extension for security, privacy, stability, user control and the enrichment of the browsing experience...

- Rated 5 out of 5by Dulak, 21 days agoReally nice, works great, only thing I noticed is that there a weird thing with Alternate Player for Twitch.tv addon.
There seems to be script there that handles the follow button (and clicking that annoying wiggle box at the bottom) and it is getting blocked by noscript, even though it says it's a tab with higher privileges. I have to allow all in tab because the blocked script is not showing up, so i cannot set it to be allowed permanently. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13759941, 21 days ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by conscience, a month agoNoScript is an essential piece of the modern web, and it has been for many years. By only allowing the domains you need for vital functionality, you can avoid everything else that is wrong with the modern internet. You can easily exclude dodgy domains (that contain malware), so even sites that contain them become safe as well as far quicker to use. You can often exclude ads, tracking, etc. and anything else undesirable. Trying to browse without it makes the internet seem very slow, which proves what a good job NoScript does. It's so good it is one of the first things I install (after Firefox) on a new PC installation. Highly recommended.

- Rated 5 out of 5by kjsbjhsb, a month agoTHAT IS THE BEST EXTENSION ON THE EARTH
YOU CAN EASILY USE WORK INK LINKVERTISE AND OTHER MONETIZE SITES WITH VPN AND ADBLOCK
JUST BAN THEIR SCRIPTS (NOT ALL OR THEY CANT WORK) - Rated 5 out of 5by Blargg, a month agoBeen using this for years on desktop, and now on Android too. A bit of a hassle to carefully enable only those domains necessary, but keeps slow, bloated sites from bogging me down.
