Reviews for NoScript Security Suite
NoScript Security Suite by Giorgio Maone
Review by jmcken
Rated 5 out of 5
by jmcken, 9 years agoRecently I gave this a 3-star review (I believe the version at the time was 10.1.3 or thereabouts), with my two biggest issues being the dramatic performance impact on certain websites (TweetDeck in particular just froze up for minutes at a time) and the irritating intrusiveness of the XSS popups, especially since it kept forgetting my per-site settings.
I’m happy to report both these issues have since been fixed some time in the last few days – I’ve stopped experiencing freeze-ups, and whilst I’m still a bit annoyed at the XSS popups, now they at least remember my settings so they stop pestering me when I revisit a site afterwards. For these reasons, I’m changing my rating to 5 stars, the same I would have given before the WebExtension update.
Finally, a suggestion about the UI (and unlike too many here, I perfectly understand you can’t bring the old one back). I’m getting used to it and it’s become almost second-nature to use. However, one thing I find somewhat unintuitive about it is the layout of the Default/Trusted/Untrusted/Custom buttons: specifically, how choosing one causes it to expand, taking up space previously used by the other buttons. I always felt it might feel simpler and smoother if the buttons had a static width and all displayed their text labels even when unselected. Then upon clicking one, it would darken or grow brighter or something to show it’s been selected, without changing shape or position.
Just my two cents. I know you’re getting hammered a lot and I sympathize. Your hard work and devotion shows. It’s been bumpy, but the new NoScript is now at a place where I’m happy to use it and recommend it. Please keep up the good work.

Hello
I remember the beginnings of this extension, the year was 2005, it was a long time ago, since then you have done a lot of work until such a form of the extension was created.
Please, now a problem has arisen, the latest versions of the extension cause problems with loading the youtube page, the page freezes.
I downgraded from version 13.6.28 of the extension to version 13.6.25
Released June 22, 2026, which runs without problems
versions 13.6.28, 13.6.27, 13.6.26 are problematic
I use FF 128.14.0 ESR
Thank you very much for everything
May you be successful - Rated 3 out of 5by Montalaar, 20 days agoUsing it for 5+ years, awesome tool to stop trackers and even certain ads, a must have for me!
The last update broke Youtube with NoScript though: Any video will slow down the entire Firefox tab until it's completely unresponsive and Firefox asks to shut it down due to performance issues.
I did a roll-back to an older Firefox, disabled all my extensions 1-by-1 until Youtube worked again: Without NoScript sadly. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19967680, a month ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Private Jenkins, 2 months agoFantastic for keeping data-scraping scripts away from my personal info or history.
However, as of June 1st, the add-on will only update the script list once per refresh hit, and I have to click off the icon in order to process more scripts to get a certain page "unbroken".
Very annoying, hence why this is only a 4-star (even barely! I give this add-on a 3.5 in reality) review.
Fix this issue, and the rest of the problems I encounter will again be someone else's problem. - Rated 4 out of 5by Alphonse, 2 months agoStops unknown scripts from running until your approval. But a lot of websites will break without third-party scripts, and for now you simply must guess your own until it works. Interface cuts off long domain-names.
