Reviews for NoScript Security Suite
NoScript Security Suite by Giorgio Maone
Review by mjtech
Rated 2 out of 5
by mjtech, 9 years agoEDIT: OK after some time playing around with the settings I understand it much better and the functionality appears to work well. I suggest people experiment with the settings a bit, or check out the noscript forum where there are some explanations of the UI if you find the relevant threads.
In the meantime, I will keep my 2-star rating until a proper help guide to the UI is incorporated into the addon as a link, and an on-boarding process for new installations includes a pop up alerting users to the guide as this is sorely needed, especially for users of the old add-on. This rating reflects my experience as a new user, not my experience now, as this is more relevant to potential new users reading these reviews.

I agree with others that I do not really know how to use this addon any more whereas I had perfect intuition of it pre-57 days. The interface is non-intuitive and is not really explained anywhere. After some time I think I am beginning to understand it but I am still not sure because I cannot reference what I think against official documentation. The latter would help a lot.
I don't blame the addon developer, as he probably had to develop it in his spare time in time for release 57. i acknowledge the effort to upgrade the addon to the new API while many other developers gave up. Thank you, Giorgio for that.
I do blame Mozilla somewhat for switching to a substandard extension API and not having certain vital API features available to developers to test until very late (and some not even yet existing). I realise there were some reasons to make the change, but they should have considered the effect on the existing users and developers and tried to mitigate it somehow.
While I agree that expressing such anger in obscene words is inappropriate, it is appropriate to give an honest review and rating. My rating expresses what I currently think about this addon and is by no means an emotional reaction to change.
I am sure that many improvements will come and user feedback will be acknowledged by the developer. I encourage him to ignore the insults and continue. My review and rating will improve as the addon improves in my estimation.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Kurt, 16 days agoNoScript is great when you want to block XSS exploits directly! I kinda love this extension!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18814116, a month agoС тих пір, як я почав користуватися цим застосунком кілька років тому, я взагалі не розумію, як я раніше шарився по інтернетах без нього. Більш потужного, гнучкого і надійного інструмента, щоб налаштувати перегляд під себе, я ще не зустрічав. Він вимагає деякого розуміння, що саме показувати, а що саме приховувати, тому plug-and-play для нього не працює - він якраз і потрібен для тонкого налаштування, щоб при відвідуванні рекламних помийок, сумнівних і дуже сумнівних сайтів заблокувати майже все, а потім давати дозволи на відкриття того, що вам потрібно. Тому різниця в перегляді того ж Ютуба через застосунок на смартфоні і через комп в бравзері просто як дві паралельні реальності.
Величезна дяка розробникам за цей чудовий застосунок! o/ - Rated 5 out of 5by fidgeter, a month ago

Thank you very much for quickly fixing the problem, awesome work, version 13.6.29 works perfectly.
I wish you all the best and good luck.

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, 2 months 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, 3 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Private Jenkins, 3 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, 3 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.

Had to disable the extension because it prevented me to watch pictures on pages.
