- Rated 5 out of 5by KarpovGambit, 6 years agoSo much easier and more intuitive than the paranoid NoScript.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 14759076, 6 years agoreCAPTCHA is not working after installing this extension!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14538183, 6 years agoDoesn't work : the only interested of this addon is to block external scripts and not the internal (half mode) but this mode blocks everything like every on/off script's addon. And when you tell him it doesn't work, he answers "yes, I know, sometimes it works sometimes not" !
- Rated 4 out of 5by Raccoon Army, 6 years agoI began using this after the original YesScript was no longer supported with the updated version of Firefox. I have but one complaint with YesScrpt2 which is I really miss a little feature YesScript had, which was the ability to block scripts prior to opening a website, and then immediately unblocking them so that link subsequently clicked on aren't blocked without reloading the page.
This would allow me to enjoy a webpage with a lot of content on it and not get blasted with scripted nonsense and have to deal with the page reloading on me every 30 seconds; however, I when I clicked on a link on the website I was able to load that one link with full scripts.
This little process/feature was super-nice for websites with a bloated front page designed for long term browsing, such as news sites, for example, but they also load it with a bunch of garbage and have the page annoyingly set to reload on you every 30 secs.
When I tried this little trick with YesScript2, it now reloads the page every time I stop blocking scripts rather than just leaving the current page loaded and blocked and then unblocking subsequent clicked-links.
Thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14113964, 6 years agoI would like to express my gratitude to you for this development continuation.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14088278, 7 years agoVery happy with YesScript2! I can simply click on the icon on my extensions bar when those annoying pop-over videos (that follow me as I scroll the page) start loading, and the video disappears! One of the most egregious offenders is www.sfgate.com and I can finally read articles on that site again without gritting my teeth in irritation. I do have to click it off again to enable viewing of comments - otherwise they do not load - but I love having this control over the sites I visit. This is the first review of a FF add-on that I've felt compelled to comment on (that I can remember, anyway, LOL). Thanks to the developer for making this!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Vanessa King, 7 years agoIt does exactly what it's supposed to, and does it well!
There are times I need to check sites/pages I'm not familiar with—for work, generally. I try avoid sites with intrusive and aggressive advertising, but if I end up on a site with those types of links (and they're triggered by JS), this extension stops those windows from flying!
Really happy with YesScript, thanks! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14021197, 7 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13963192, 7 years agoDoes what it says. It gets you past websites that block content based on adblockers.
It's not that I'm anti ads, I unblock plenty of sites that I use all the time to be as supportive as possible.
But I am anti ads that try to install malware. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13324123, 7 years agoIt would be better "for every website block external scripts and allow internal scripts for 7 seconds" with an allow external scripts for 3 seconds option. I've been waiting for someone to release such an addon for years. I shall wait no more and create this addon and give credit.

posted 7 years agoMain goal is security. If not, then you don't need this addon. If so, then allowing scripts for any specified amount of time will allow them to do attacks if they want to. Simplicity is very important for transparency and error freeness. As soon as you start messing around trying to be smarter in such a huge combinational space, you keep raising the chance for bigger security holes. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13417485, 7 years agoThis add simple and practical.
Very good.
Think you!! - Rated 5 out of 5by Guest, 7 years agoThe application is excellent. Unlike others, it can be blocked by URL. But I need keyboard shortcuts.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12714914, 7 years agoNice, yesscript is a good quick way to stop those annoying popups and hijacks, but of course it breaks the page sometimes. YS2 is great for the ability to stop 3rd party scripts but keeping the sites ones going. And just like YS it saves the settings PER site, which is a must.
Could you add options to have "half blocking (allowing internal and blocking external scripts)" enabled by default for all pages? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13751318, 7 years agoI made an account just to give this addon 5 stars and say how much I appreciate it.
I used to use YesScript but of course that's dead now and this is the perfect replacement!
Thank you so much for making this! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13748147, 7 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13712709, 7 years agoThis addon is fantastic. Thank you SO much for continuing to update YesScript (2) for Firefox Quantum. I was keeping Firefox from updating to Quantum just for YesScript to work, so I was really happy to see YesScript 2 a few days ago. You're awesome, Mr. Developer!
