NoScript


Recommended Posts

Yep, been using it for a few months now.

It's a bit like training a firewall, the extension won't allow any scripts to run unless you allow them. You can permanently allow or temporarily allow.

I like it.

Disable JS globally certainly helps in general, but may not help java applet issues. Actually what Java exploit do you suffer?

Few weeks ago, I went into www.anysonglyrics.com and Java loaded. In less than a second, Norton Antivirus popped up and told me that my computer was infected with a Trojan Horse. Luckily Norton Antivirus managed to delete it. From then onwards, I'm getting more concerned about my computer's safety. Just hope that NoScript will help to block sites with Java Applet :)

Oh it does an excellent job! A little hint for you tho.. if you goto a site that's got some flash or something you want to see.. you know where someone linked a joke here or something. Use the temperary allow this site instead of just whitelisting it. That way the next time you open your browser you don't have to worry about what site you allowed to see some joke. And your white list doesn't get so huge that you start to worry.

So you are blocking Flash links too? Should I do so?

To bush: Why is it annoying when using slow connection?

I use it and block all three of the plugins it's capable of blocking.

JavaScript

Flash

Other Plugins

Great little extension (Y)

Yep that's the way to do it! Don't know if it makes me "safe", but it does make me "safer" for sure.
