posted 7 years agoHappy to hear you've found the replacement. Actually I believe you don't need an option to view and edit the list of the blacklisted sites because if your intention is to export it from one account and import it into another, then you can easily do that by using Firefox's Sync feature. You simply sign in and all of your bookmarks, settings and extension storage will be copied over to your other device at once. It is convenient.
However if you still want to view the blacklist, you can do that now as well by opening the following file in a text editor (editing this file has no effect though):
[Your Mozilla folder] / firefox / * / browser-extension-data / yesscript2* / storage.js
Your Mozilla folder can typically be found on a Windows system in C:\ users \ yourname \ AppData \ Roaming \ Mozilla. On Linux systems you can find it in / home / yourname / .mozilla. For further information on this, see more here:

The file format that I use for the blacklist looks like this:
{"urls": ["domain1.com", "domain2.com", "somethingelse.com"]}

Reply #2 : May I ask why you want to edit the blacklist? I could add an option but it would increase the code base that I wouldn't want if avoidable. More lines of code is harder to be maintained and more work to be inspected for future changes. Write me to my email if you need more help and clarification: mail@log69.com
And Sync should really work. Are you using the latest stable version of FF?
Edit: with version 4.0 I'v made several fixes and improvements to the Sync feature, so now it would work properly.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18890067, a month agoUsing it for a couple of years now and on a daily basis. I love the option of no js, only local js or all js. Beautiful piece of work!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17811070, 2 years agoI find the YesScript2 add-on to be very useful in blocking scripts on websites that won't let you read without agreeing to a subscription or paying a fee. YesScript2 is extremely easy to use and very effective in blocking unwanted scripts. I love this add-on and I just wish it was available for my android cell phone. Thank you Andras!
- Rated 1 out of 5by phma, 2 years agoBrokes both "To DeepL translation" add-on & website (https://www.deepl.com/translator), even in YesScript no-blocking state (grey).
(DeepL states that it is not Internet Explorer compatible — while I am using Firefox — and advises to use Edge Browser instead).
Also reported on the To DeepL translation add-on page. - Rated 5 out of 5by 12342, 3 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by Sebastian A, 4 years agoI apologize for 1 star rating, I can't find a way to message you. I noticed today that this add on is active even when it's in no-blocking mode, as it's blocking recaptcha. This makes it pretty much unusable. Much appreciated if you have the time to fix! If you reply I will change to 5 stars just so I know you got it!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13276249, 4 years agoWow, I don´t understand why this app is not much, much more popular. It gets rid of so many pesky scripts bits. Loving it!

- Rated 2 out of 5by backwoodsman, 4 years agoIt blocks reCAPTCHA even when set to no blocking. Apparently it's still doing something even when it's supposed to be doing nothing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16560640, 4 years agoWorks as advertised, and is very helpful on many of the sites I frequent. The only change I'd like to see is in the toolbar icon. It's hard for me (and maybe other colorblind people) to tell the colors apart. It would be nice if the icon changed shape or maybe showed a letter (F, H, or N?) to indicate full, half, or no blocking.

- Rated 4 out of 5by KB, 5 years agoI've used YesScript2 for a couple of years to get me past paywalls, which usually works well I can get into most sites. But since I updated Firefox to Version 80 yesterday I can't get into my hotmail, it locks up for a minute or so and then puts up an error screen. All other sites work fine. I don't have the problem if YesScript2 is disabled, only when it's active. Using this forum to bring the developer's attention to the problem so maybe they can fix it.

- Rated 3 out of 5by zero07, 5 years agoThis is a quite useful addon. However, only recently (2019-December), this started breaking some of my commonly visited websites - repl.it. I had a hard time tracking down that this was indeed the offending addon.
The third (or default) mode - unfiltered - or no blocking doesn't prevent it from breaking the webpage with "Content Security Policy: The page’s settings blocked the loading of a resource at...".
I request the developer to please look into this. I've had to disable this addon entirely to get the website working. This addon is a must for browsing websites that throw unsuspecting clicks at you, but this simply breaks a really small fraction of the web for me. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15446614, 5 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Joe JoKeRz, 6 years agoThis add-on was fantastic, I say was because it seems to have stopped working. Anytime I blacklist a page it doesn't stick, when the page refreshes the icon is grey again (instead of red) and scripts will work/load for the page.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Ahmad Gharbeia, 6 years agoIt would be great if this extension placed its toggle-button in the URL bar. This gives the indication that its effect is URL-specific.
Another extension that does this is : https://github.com/meetDeveloper/Quick-JS-Switcher
YesScript2 supersedes the fore-mentioned extension by providing the three-state control.
