Reviews for NoScript Security Suite
NoScript Security Suite by Giorgio Maone
Review by jmcken
Rated 5 out of 5
by jmcken, 8 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.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Alphonse, 2 days 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19806246, 2 months agoThis is one of the most distinctive Firefox add-ons for me. To be honest, I'm not using it right now because I'm still learning how to use it more effectively. I'm actually trying to learn more about internet security, and I've noticed that using this add-on is great for protecting your privacy from malicious JavaScript. I highly recommend it. Thank you.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Heather, 2 months agoProbably one of the most essential addons for firefox, next to ublock. Great for security but it's recommended to have a tech background cuz the default settings can break many sites.
