NoScript Security Suite by Giorgio Maone

Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 13556987, 8 years agoJust joined on here to give my view.
I've used NoScript continually since its inception and thinking back there were a few hiccups early days which over time got ironed out, I think it will be the same with this version.
There were lots of folk ranting when it couldn't be used on the new Firefox, some demanding that something be done instantly, which was obviously impossible.
Giorgio obviously got on with this version and possibly rushed both building it and putting it out, these things happen.
However, buggy though it is, it is useable and as with all similar programs when many folk start using them bugs surface, the bugs are a PITA but hopefully, with time, will be resolved.
Lets not forget, that thanks to Giorgio's time and effort over the years, many thousands of surfers, me included, have been protected from who knows what was lurking behind some scripts.
Why not cut him a little slack, even such as the mighty Microsoft, Google, Apple and such others put out buggy stuff and that's with their thousands of programmers and millions of pounds!
So why have I given it two ( for the time being ) stars.
Mainly due to two things.
One, to me very important, there not being available, from the day it came out, any decent instructions in layman's terms, as to how to use it, I'm reasonably computer savvy and can normally get my head around most things, eventually, but this had me going spare, marking sites as trusted then having them revert to untrusted after shutting down and re-starting was a real pain, until I discovered only this morning, whilst reading these revues, that a simple click of the little clock solved this problem, thanks to those who mentioned it.
The second reason was because of the initial buggy nature of the first release.
Will I continue using it, of course.
Why, simply because, even as it is, I can't find another program that is as good as this one and going by past experience it will settle down.
Thanks Giorgio

- Rated 2 out of 5by Wewe Never, 5 days agoIt doesnt remember changed levels, and 90% of all sites i visit needs permission. Javascript is everywhere I guess. Deleted the addon.

posted 5 days agoIf you flag sites as TRUSTED rather than Temp. TRUSTED, permissions are remembered. Otherwise it's a bug, probably with your browser configuration, and should reported at github.com/hackademix/noscript/issues thanks. - Rated 5 out of 5by ZeroUnderscoreOu, 15 days ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by mlatpren, a month agoIt does a great job at blocking, but is regularly frustrating with re-enabling things. It's supposed to show you what it's blocking, but that's extremely hit-or-miss. Occasionally, there'd be something blocked where the only solution is to disable the extension. As in, right-click and disable *from Firefox itself.*
- Rated 3 out of 5by zekromVale, a month agoThere needs to be a CPU limit on this extension, using 30% CPU of an intel i7 11th gen laptop CPU on YouTube is ridiculous. Firefox for Ubuntu snap, flatpack, or just .deb are affected. Must disable NoScript to fix it or allow everything fully for all domains on the page. I would like more domains to be added to the global trusted list though (by default) or have a popup at the top when you first visit a page.

- Rated 3 out of 5by aq, 2 months agoUser for at least 15 years, Something is conflicting on Firefox. It is blocking scripts and other add ons such as tampermonkey or violentmonkey with scripts added, but without any listing of what is being blocked. Only option is to shut it off to proceed.
Even blocking games internal scripts without any 'monkey' in use.
Please check and test - Rated 5 out of 5by Simon Bünemann, 2 months ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by aedgsegsfvw, 2 months agoWARNING! Causes crashes with SEVERE data loss. Since mid 2025, this extension regularly causes the browser to crash. It can even crash the browser so severely that windows freezes irreversibly, with SEVERE data loss as a result. The crashes stopped when I deleted this extension, and re-occurred after reinstalling it. Several others have reported the same issues on user forums.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19459487, 4 months agoI'm notified every time WebGL is blocked on each page load. There's no way to disable these notifications and it's very irritating.
Edit: updated to 5 stars as it can be disabled after all but the setting isn't described very clearly.Developer response
posted 4 months agoYou should not get any notification. Just a little placeholder inside the page, to be able to enable it back. And you can disable it by unchecking "NoScript Options>Appearance>Show synthetic placeholders for invisible capability probes" - Rated 5 out of 5by Cello, 4 months agoit's 5-stars, because it's little time and effort to manage and also Edward Snowden said that noscript is the best protection in the whole internet...(after some Firefox update, noscript does seem to block internet in Firefox,,, but I'm sure there will be a workaround in the next edition ... buona vacanza)
