    I've been dreading 57 since there was no replacement for YesScript...Now there is. Would be perfect if there was a screen that could view (or edit) a list of blacklisted sites. Hopefully in a newer version.

    Couldn't figure out how to reply to your reply..so....

    "..then you can easily do that by using Firefox's Sync feature. You just sign in and all of your bookmarks, settings and extension storage will be copied over to your other devices at once. It is convenient."

    For some reason, this didn't work. The sync copied WebScrpt 2 extension, but my sites were not copied over.
    -----------------ll want to view and edit the blacklist, you do that now as well by editing the following file with the editor of your choice:

    [Your Mozilla folder] / firefox / * / browser-extension-data / yesscript2* / storage.js"

    The file format that I use for the blacklist looks like this, so you can easily edit it however you like it:

    {"urls":["domain1.com","domain2.com","somethingelse.com"]} "

    Thanks, I figured that out by "exploring". What would be nice is button in YesScript which would open this up (perhaps in Notepad) Maybe add the above line as a read-only help line. Again, thanks for the extension.

    Happy 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.

    Yesscript is a very useful extension. I've been using it for years and I am glad it's been replaced.

    I accidentally noticed that it makes some annoying notifications disappear (donate to Wikipedia, etc.) I don't know if Yescript 1 did that, but it's nice.

    I can do without a preferences panel, but it's very annoying that the preferences are reseted when cookies are erased.

    Thank you anyway.

    Edit: Sync doesn't work for me, as I use Firefox on a single device, but I think I'm going to be fine if I don't delete cookies anymore when I clear my history. Since I have Cookie autodelete, this shouldn't be a problem: Cookie autodelete does not delete the preferences of Yesscript 2.

    Hi Homme,

    I have improved the extension based on your feedback. I've added a feature to store the settings in the remote storage instead of the local one.

    So now the settings will be permanent even across browsers (if you sign in Firefox sync) and will not be erased when you delete the cookies.

    I've released version 1.0 but overall testing is still needed. I gladly accept further feedbacks on how well it works.

    Minimum Firefox version is 53 now instead of 52 because of the sync feature.

    Edit: I've tested it and with version 1.4 the Sync works good. So now you can use it across browsers. You need to sync it before using the extension and then you get all your settings back.

    1.it is hard to understand from the icon if the script block or allow on the site (in the original yesscript it was more clear).

    2. it will be nice if there was an option to see a list of all the block sites, and a option to import and export this list.

    there is 1 new thing that i particularly like, and its the auto refresh after blocking. this is something that was lack in the original yesscript.

    1) I've changed the color of the on state icon from white to dark red to represent its state better. Uploaded the new version, should update soon.

    2) I have no time resource currently for a preferences panel.

    2.b) Edit.: I've made some recent improvements and in version 1.4 you can use the Sync feature of Firefox so you won't need to do tiresome exports and imports of data but instead you can sync the settings to all your devices.
