"Sadly, I have to agree with some of the other reviews.....
The new version is quite simply, POO.
This is perfectly illustrated by the fact that I had to re-allow scripts that had been set as trusted just to post this sad reflection on what was, for the most part a highly useful and mature extension with a user interface that was relatively straight forward to interpret and use.
The new interface is Terrible to put it mildly. Its over 'simplification' and design has produced a bewildering experience that makes ones head ache in a state of near vertigo when first used. Just to add insult to injury, as previously stated, you will probably have repeat the process when the settings are forgotten.
No script has always been annoying when visiting a site for the first time. Identifying the minimum scripts allowed for site functionality whilst blocking the rest, was a tedious process but it was offset by the fact it only had to be done once. The result was a huge dividend of security, privacy, speed of page load, reduced memory usage and increased stability to the browser as a whole from avoiding execution of unnecessary and in many cases poorly written, bloated code.
In short the new NoScript is a horrible disappointment, in stark contrast to the wonderful browsing experience of Firefox 57"
At that time I felt the review was completely justified.
But, there is hope!
The UI is improving and in some ways, superior to the old which I think we all have to agree was a bit clumsy.
I understand now the 'forgetting' of settings directly attributable to the API changes in Quantum and Mozillas role in it and the unfair but understandable scorn from users like myself who have become accustomed to features being removed and UI changes from likes of Microsoft and others in the name of 'progress' and our willingness to unload both barrels as a result.
I persisted with noscript, temporally allowing just about everything, relying on Sandboxie protection.
It improves with every update to my everlasting gratitude and I cannot wait for the day I rate it 5 stars!
THANK YOU to the developer(s) for all of your hard work and persistence in the face of mounting criticism from people like myself.
No Script is in my opinion a vital extension for security, privacy, stability, user control and the enrichment of the browsing experience...

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 18300440, 24 days agoThis addon is really nice, until recently. For whatever reason, it was completely reset on all my devices, so I am in the process of ADDING back all the custom setting and it is annoying... I almost uninstalled it.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18420765, 25 days agoAbsolute necessity: it's the closest a user can get to controlling the execution flow of the browser without intervening at the source level, which would require someone to build the project from source
- Rated 4 out of 5by DrWhoFan13, a month agoA recent change broke a website, and refreshing the extension didn't help.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Sam, a month agoI think the user interface could use more work with limited options to change the appearance. It may help that you use a basic or general rule set on file, as you may be setting rules for things that are essential to browsing. You can only do this by importing a text file. This is a great extension for having more control to what is loaded into browsing.

- Rated 5 out of 5by rawhead2222, 2 months agoFür mich das beste und gleichzeitig auch einfachste Sicherheits- Ad-On welches jemals kostenlos der Allgemeinheit zugänglich gemacht wurde.
Ich weiß gar nicht mehr seit wie vielen Jahren ich es benutze, ich glaube kurz nach dem Entstehen von einer der ersten Versionen.
Also ein oder eineinhalb oder mehr Jahrzehnte,
ich bin mittlerweile wirklich gealtert,
No Script zum Glück nicht‼️
Ganz großen Respekt an den Entwickler 🙏❤️👍 - Rated 5 out of 5by lundbelt, 2 months ago
