- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13751318, 9 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, 9 years ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13712709, 9 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!

Thank you ! - Rated 4 out of 5by PatheticCockroach, 9 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.Developer response
posted 9 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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13550873, 9 years agoThank you so much for your response to my query. I can now use my YesScript2. And I love the half-block.

- Rated 5 out of 5by /\/\/\/, 9 years agoDoes exactly what it says on the tin. A worthy Quantum-era successor to the original YesScript addon. Simple and effective!

- Rated 5 out of 5by SleepExpert, 9 years agoThe original YesScript was the only legacy extension I was worried about losing when moving to FireFox 57. IMO, being able to blacklist specific domains from running scripts (if you pay attention, you'll notice most ad-heavy websites are displaying ads from the same set of domains using iframes) is must-have functionality for browsing the web (some other browsers -- which I won't name here -- have this built-in).
With the latest update to version 2.5 (applies script blocking policy to pages loaded in iframes), YesScript2 does everything I used the original YesScript for. I also like the way YesScript2 handles the blocklist better than the original. In the original YesScript, you had to add an entry for http and https if you wanted to block both. YesScript2 just needs one entry for a domain.
I guess it's a feature of the new WebExtensions but it's also cool that I didn't have to restart Firefox after updating. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13420543, 9 years ago
