Reviews for NoScript Security Suite
NoScript Security Suite by Giorgio Maone
Review by Daniel Saner
Rated 4 out of 5
by Daniel Saner, 7 years agoTo all the people complaining about the new UI (not that I expect any of them to see this): Giorgio can't revert back to the old UI because that kind of UI is no longer supported on Firefox 57 and above. Nice things like native drop-down menus and dialog boxes are no longer allowed. Those were part of XUL addons. Now we only have WebExtensions add-ons à la Chrome, and if you know Chrome, you know that its add-on interface situation is the same. "Nice" UIs have been prohibited by Mozilla, on purpose, so your gripe is with them, not with Giorgio, the developer of this add-on.
I do agree that the UI could use some work anyway, though, in terms of understandability, ease of use, and looks. But this is still an early version which had to be released in a rush, so give it a while.
I'll still deduct one star from my previous rating because too much comfort functionality is missing at the moment. Temporary exceptions, selective and site-wide, were one of my most-used features of NoScript, and they're not in yet. Also, the options screen is severely lacking, a lot of the behaviour I used to customise can't be changed right now. I assume that all of these things are still possible, and just haven't been implemented yet. Part of that blame, once again, can be put on Mozilla for their hasty and clumsy shutdown of XUL extensions and the rushed und grossly unfinished transition to WebExtensions, which is making life hard for all add-on developers.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14558205, 2 days agoSince the v12.6 update, I am experiencing enormous usability problem. Has the functionality changed in fundamentla way - without communicating ?
After fuzzing around quite a bit, I resolved how to roll-back to the previous version v12.1.1 . Uff, resolved for now.Developer response

Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by 镂心鉥肝, 3 days agoNoScript还是很好的,不管是界面还是解释如何使用都进行了改进。不过,文章内容应该更加简洁一点。告诉用户每一个功能开关的意思。同时NoScript默认会阻止扩展脚本

- Rated 1 out of 5by Max, 6 days agoI really wanted to use NoScript. I prefer single-purpose extensions that focus on doing one job well, compared to more multi-purpose extensions like uBlock Origin.
However, I ultimately couldn't stick with it because the user experience did not suit my needs.
E.g. one mobile screen presents around 12 different icons packed into the height of 3 lines of text, leaving a large portion of the screen completely empty below them.
My main frustration is that none of these icons have labels. Expecting users to learn and memorize the meaning of a dozen different unlabeled symbols creates an unnecessary barrier to entry and makes using the extension quickly and efficiently very difficult. It feels counter-intuitive to leave so much screen real estate blank when that space could be used to label each icon and explain its function.
uBlock Origin is easier to use than NoScript. - Rated 5 out of 5by LittleFire, 11 days ago
