Summary

Winner of the "PC World - World Class Award" and bundled with the Tor Browser, NoScript gives you the best available protection on the web. It allows JavaScript, Flash, and other executable content to run only from trusted domains of your choice (e.g. your banking site), thus mitigating remotely exploitable vulnerabilities, such as Spectre and Meltdown.

It protects your "trust boundaries" against cross-site scripting attacks (XSS), cross-zone DNS rebinding / CSRF attacks (router hacking), and Clickjacking attempts, thanks to its unique ClearClick technology.

Such a preemptive approach prevents exploitation of security vulnerabilities (known and unknown!) with no loss of functionality where you need it. Experts do agree: Firefox is really safer with NoScript!

It blocks scripts alright, no problem there, great job, it does exactly what it says it'll do, so a great rating suits. However, I haven't given it 5 stars because I'd like to see 2 features added, of which at least the first shouldn't be too hard to implement IMHO and the second probably not either, although I haven't looked at the code, nor have I ever scripted a FF plugin myself so I should stfu, I know. Requested features: 1. export/save+import settings, so I can just import all my preferences instead of having to point it out to the plugin for each and every site again when I have a new machine/new OS install 2. settings per domain. Eg I wanna disable google's js-es everywhere, except then the drive.google.com becomes unresponsive, warning me that js needs to be allowed. So, I'd wish to allow google's js *only* when the address bar shows a google.com url and disable it on every other site. Here, I'd like to list on which sites in this case google's js may be enabled, bc eg youtube.com (which for now actually doesn't seem to need google's js) is also from google, so I might wanna choose to allow it there as well (theoretically speaking)
