by PatheticCockroach, 7 years agoNice replacement to YesScript after the WebExtension Armageddon.
That being said, I'm not sure what to think of that "half blocking" state. It seems smart at first, but I already use other extensions to block toxic external scripts (uBlock & Ghostery), so I'm not sure I'll ever really need it. In all the time I've used YesScript, I've never felt the need for a partial block. Meanwhile, the interesting state (block all) is now 2 clicks away instead of one (not to mention the auto-reload). It would be better to have half blocking in last position IMHO
Edit (since unfortunately it's impossible to reply to replies): I don't think many users of this add-on don't also have stuff like uBlock. That would be an interesting stat to have though.

posted 7 years agoEdit: I've just released a new version (4.3) in which I changed the order of blocking because it will suit better this way in practice. So you are a single click away from full blocking now.
