Firefox plugin 'NoScript' - are they taking the mickey?

chunter

Seems The "noscript" plugin is getting updated every couple of days,

An advertising ploy perhaps?

Are there any other decent noscript type plugins about for Firefox?

Dreamcoat

?????

What does that mean.

Chunter,

For us non-tech speak people, could you explain what this means?

Thanks.

Noscript is a bolt on for Firefox that blocks potentially dodgy scripts from executing and doing naughty things on your PC

Its been updated a couple of times in the past week or so, i guess that is what the OP is referring to.

Nothing to worry about by the looks of it

This really does irritate me...please post in the right forum. Only takes a second to look at the board title before posting.

Anyway rant over.....

If there's any form of JavaScript you need to allow it by clicking on NoScript. Annoying at first, but it learns over time, and any new sites you just get used to clicking to allow it.

As to this being too much that depends upon the user. I personally like it as I know what's going on, although it is becoming more annoying due more and more AJAX based (JavaScript) sites popping up.
