This is an awesome add-on and it does what it's supposed to do... very well. Why all the negative reviews? Take time to RTFM and you'll understand why you should care about cross-site scripting (XSS) and be familiar with the concepts. I think the new interface is dope and makes more sense then ever. Nice job dev.

I used NoScript for a long time with the older versions of Firefox and it was simple and worked great. The new version's UI is clunky and unintuitive and I keep getting cross site something or other popups. Completely annoying.

I'm sorry. I've always loved this add-on. Unfortunately due to the latest change (I understand it's related to Firefox changes) I no longer find it useful. Even after reading the blogs, I still can't quite understand how to save my customized settings correctly and using the whitelist. I'm sure some people will understand this better than I do but I just love the old way too much. It's a no go for me :/

Useful as added security. Control for users.

Essential. You can't browse without

I've been using this extension for years now, and I was happy because of her return , thanks for the developer's efforts ,the interface was strange for me at first, but believe me , even a child can use it now.
Well done, keep up the good work

Ok. editing my review as the interface has been updated and now i believe it is much better. Please keep up the good work !

I like it because it works.

Schau doch mal dort http://minthouselinuxforum.forumieren.com/t1882-wie-bediene-ich-das-neue-noscript vorbei.
Das neue noScript funktioniert wirklich sehr gut. Mir hat die alte Version auch sehr gefallen. Nach kleiner Einarbeitungszeit empfinde ich jedoch das neue noScript übersichtlicher in der Bedienung.

Does its job in blocking scripts, almost too well. Would prefer easier and faster options to whitelist sites. As it is I find myself just disabling the entire addon because allowing certain scripts on EVERY SITE is just burdensome.

OK, to be fair: Since the developers released a short "manual" (no, it's just a few paragraphs) on how to use it and fixed this annoying bug with vertical scrollbars it's a very good addon. Thanks!

To all users posting hate comments:
Please test a bit to understand the new functionality.
I needed several days too... =)

i must be the only one who likes the new interface,i have been using noscript for years,yes it takes some time getting used to,but it does it's job

Раньше управление было удобнее. Сейчас жутко неудобно.

Die "neue" Version von NoScript ist total unübersichtlich und voller Fehler.

Non se ne può fare a meno. Indispensabile, grazie per i tuoi sforzi!

Piccoli miglioramenti ad ogni rilascio. A must have extension, anche con la nuova UI, bisognerà semplicemente abituarsi. Un enorme grazie allo sviluppatore.

New design was awful in the beginning, but after some time the handling gets better.

The fastest way to allow a site permanently is to double-click the left of the three icons. The first click activated the temporarily permission and enlarges the button, the cursor is now pointing on the timer icon so the second click will activate the permanently permission instantly. Knowing this it's not that uncomfortable to use.

(Review based on 2017-11 version.) I have used noscript for years and totally trust it on the internet, but the UI and instructions really are a minefield. The latest problem was that I had to come HERE to figure out what the symbols meant, and that you had declared all "allow" commands to be temporary by default, making me click twice on pretty much every site I visit. (Except until I researched this I didn't know this so like a lot of commenters here I was being forced to allow sites at every visit.)

Don't get me wrong, this is a powerful and just-about-usable utility and I intend to stick with it, but the UI is really not intuitive at all and the documentation lets you down by failing to fill those gaps too. Sometimes you just have to accept that a UI change was a mistake and people just don't GET it, and I think this is one of those occasions.

Thanks for all the security features, however, I really appreciate that.

Pls put a button in to allow everything (permament). I dont want to click every single one doeble (to trust then disable temp.)
