Reviews for NoScript Security Suite
NoScript Security Suite by Giorgio Maone
Review by Daniel Saner
Rated 4 out of 5
by Daniel Saner, 8 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 5 out of 5by HunterMirror, 4 days agoHe notado en las demás reseñas, que las personas no parecen comprender el propósito de este addon. La idea es que bloquee los scripts, si una página se rompe por ello, es algo perfectamente esperable, no es culpa de la extensión perse, sino de quien desarrolló dicha página web, queda a tu criterio si lo quieres añadir a la lista blanca o no. Lo realmente triste y reprochable, es más bien que hoy en día hayan tantas páginas que quieran que actives los scripts si o si para poder usarlos, incluso páginas que no los necesitan para nada.
El abuso de los scripts y la manía de convertir las páginas web en "aplicaciones", es lo que ha causado que ahora usar el navegador implique un consumo cada vez mayor de RAM, sin contar los riesgos de seguridad innecesarios del uso de scripts, tanto para el usuario como para el webmaster/desarrollador. Así que por mi parte, prefiero que se rompan las páginas que sean, no les voy a activar los scripts si no son páginas que hagan un uso inteligente y justo de ellas. - Rated 5 out of 5by k4mmi, 5 days ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Air, 23 days agoVery useful on a computer, however, enabling it by default on a mobile phone will block many important features, including but not limited to any AI features and video browsing
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 19157064, a month agoCompletely breaks reddit on mobile, site becomes unusable. I only got it for help blocking reddits creepy tracking bs on this browser.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Cory Sanin, a month agoOne star for SidebarUtil.tab.js
Disruptive as hell and for what? Why do you need to know if I have a sidebar open? I don't even know what a sidebar is. Remove this nonsense. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19145735, a month ago
