Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

We have amazing projects like Lightbeam, NoScript, ScriptSafe, uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere and many others. All have the proposal to identify and/ or prevent the execution of questionable codes and requests.

These tools are vital, but we inevitably need to make concessions to access many websites as we have a massive use of JavaScript on the web. When you access for example the Google Translate website, with a combo of 3 extensions (HTTPS Everywhere, uBlock Origin and ScriptSafe) and Luminous, we have the following result after a few moments:

  • 6 requests influenced by HTTPS Everywhere
  • 75 requests blocked by uBlock Origin
  • 4 items blocked by ScriptSafe
  • 7,6 thousand JavaScript executions detected by Luminous

It’s about this number (7,6 thousand) that we are lost and with hands tied, it’s there that we do not know what happens and we still do not have the freedom to decide what can or can’t be executed. This is the main purpose of the project, filling this gap and being able to see and control what happens. As a side effect we end up also having an interesting tool that helps in JavaScript code developing process by giving us visibility about what is happening.

It was bit hard to understand the logic how it works but once you do its a great tool so when you visit a webpage it will auto apply the 'default' setting. don't change the default (Global). instead add add a 'website rule' (inherited child) and add customization to it. Then the rule will apply only to that website while others remain unaffected. Udemy now always show the video controls on full screen unless the mouse is on the same screen. This add-on help to customize that so the annoying menu and control remains minimized when the mouse is on another screen so you can practice while watching.

It looks like it is going to be great and it is really powerful I am sure but I have no idea how to use it. It has a side bar that sniffs events and I would really like to be able to click on sniffed events in the sidebar to toggle whether they be allowed to happen again but i have block events in a separate settings page that I can't understand I have a page that auto-reloads and auto-scrolls to the top and I would like to stop these two events (the scroll I can see being sniffed), (without blocking the launch of pop ups), but I can see no way to block either. If you can figure it out it would be brilliant. I tried "removing" the beforeeventreload (?) and scroll events but they did not do what I wanted and now I can't see them to re-allow them!
