hard work for the new firefox

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.

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).

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

Excellent extension! The new version is receiving too much criticism. It takes but a short time to figure out the functionality of the new version. It is also a work in progress with some of the features missing from the previous version still to come. The developer deserves credit for revamping this in a relatively timely manner in order to comply with the new requirements under Firefox Quantum.

a MUST for everyone.... simply the BEST addon that has been developed for firefox

Great improvements from first new webextensions version. Good job. Keep on.

After a few starting issues (whitelisted sites weren´t saved permanently, the migration didn´t work so I started with default sites on v10 @ Firefox 57) I had some mail exchange with the developer. He responded quite fast and had the right answers. He also implemented a feature request for the debug window within 1 or 2 hours which fixed my problems totally. Now I´m happy again, great work, 10 points go to Italy!

Still utterly indispensable, and still the first add-on that gets installed to any Firefox installation.

As for the recent UI changes: the developer's hands are tied (VERY tied) by Mozilla's changes to Firefox v57+, which completely removed the earlier support structures - so instead of complaining, please show a little more respect and learn something of the background/new interface:

Been using it for years but had always found the NS interface clumsy and painful to use. No more. I really like the new changes they made in the WE extensions. It's alot more compact with all the options next to each site as opposed to spread apart in a messy sprawling menu. Really good change. I really appreciate having the ability to reload the page directly from the no-script menu as well, making the trial and error of figuring out which sites are necessary and which are ads much easier.

Great job on this Giorgio! The interface that users are whining about is by far less confusing than uMatrix and more stable than ScriptSafe. I think this is an amazing time for developers to continue to put out work that is making a difference in a now fast and modern Firefox. People can't handle change and for those that are struggling with the learning curve there are ample choices. Giorgio, I think the world of all the time you spent on this.

merci pour cette protection!!!!

Good Addon. The useability is going better.

now it works

für mich der beste script blocker. man muss in zwar selbst etwas einstellen - dafür gibts garantiert keine werbung!
