NoScript

How the fuck do people use this extension?

Does every single person using it spend hours upon hours configuring it to not fuck up their favorite sites?

So, is OP really ignorant or is this another thinly veiled uBlock/uMatrix shill thread?

>hours upon hours
No, you fucking moron.
Delete everything in the whitelist, and allow websites as you go when you need to.

I would recommend uMatrix instead.
Much easier with the point-and-click interface.

It's usually easier to understand which domain you need to unblock in order to "unbreak" a site too because it shows what type of connections they were trying to make and how many.

With NoScript you often just have to blindly allow shit at random until the site works, which completely defeats the purpose of it.

It's literally about 20 seconds per site. If configuring it properly takes "hours upon hours" you should get some help.

but websites each have a huge ass list of requests. how the fuck am i supposed to know which ones to allow?

uMatrix is great because I can block adblocker-blockers with it.

NoScript/uMatrix might be a bitch to configure but it's the price to pay for security.

See: To be honest, every time I see something like that on website, I just close the tab. Not worth my time.

Not really. It's pretty easy to set up, only taking a minute or two per site. I use it in conjuction with Flash Control, Ublock Origin, Self destructing cookies, BetterPrivacy, Random Agent Spoofer, Decentraleyes, Disconnect, DNSSEC/TLSA Validator, and HTTPS Everywhere without issue.

I wouldn't allow such a site. You could test a site like that out going back and forth on what to allow, but a site with a list that long would just lose my business in favor of a website that keeps it simple.

I don't use NoScript for the same reason I didn't use Adblock Plus. Because both put significant strain on the CPU and make the web browser slower and heavier despite blocking content.

μblock Origin does everything I need and makes the browser faster and lighter on CPU and RAM. Before that I used ghostery (it's shit now but back in the day before μBlock Origin it was as good as Adblock Plus only much lighter)

I don't know if these days NoScript is lighter but I don't care because μBlock Origin does everything I need.

Besides Firefox will be dead soon.

well i need sites like this. so nocript fucking sucks.

>Besides Firefox will be dead soon
What makes you think that?

>I need a hammer, so a screwdriver fucking sucks
Different tool for different purpose.

>well i need sites like this.
Sure you do. Better bite the bullet, then.

Ok. It sucks for you. Uninstall it. No skin off my nose.

It requires some effort when you start to use it, but it is worth it, Most of us have been using for a long time so we already have a comfy setup. After the first two weeks it was like second nature to me.

Of course from time to time you find abominations like My recommendation: Think it two times: Do I really need to read this garbage click bait article?.

Also ignore this retard He is just shilling his garbage add-on and spreading FUD, NoScript makes websites load faster (not to mention the security benefits) because it precisely blocks all the unnecessary malicious JavaScript code.

Anyone who is retarded enough to use and add-on like Ghostery, owned by an ad company who sells your data to other advertisement companies. Shouldn't be tacked seriously.

The messages they display on the about:home and the fact that they are pulling an wikipedia and ask for more money.

I know you can change the home page but they didn't pull shit like that in the past. I understand they may be strapped for cash (since Google no longer needs them and probably doesn't give them as much money) but due to the way they behave the last few years it's not an organization I trust to donate.

Maybe an independent group of developer should pull another phoenix outside the control of mozilla and make firefox great again.

Firefox is still the best browser out there though.

>Firefox is still the best browser out there.
I agree. I honestly do not understand why people trust Google with literally everything. They get my youtube history, and that's it.

>so nocript fucking sucks.
Triggered. The software is doing its job so well it is rendering the modern web unusable. If anything, this should tell you that the software doesn't suck, the modern web does.

>Does every single person using it spend hours upon hours configuring it to not fuck up their favorite sites?
If two clicks takes you hours, it's time to stop using a computer, gramps.

ahem... yes... well, i can delete noscript. however i can't delete the modern web.

Mozilla is a fucking retarded company that's digging its own grave with every fucking terrible decision they make

I'm all for the free web and all but Mozilla is just not providing what they set out to do anymore. Somebody needs to step up and take their place so they can at least die with some tiny shred of dignity remaining.

>nocript fucking sucks
No, the websites you are visiting suck.

Most sites only need one or two things unblocked to work properly and it's generally the host domain and a cdn.

You can also stop browsing a board meant for technologically competent people, not normies who've managed to find the “addons” button in their browser

You should try μMatrix; it's what NoScript tried to be but better.

Well, if every site you go to is a porn site, you've got an uphill battle

Tbh I find umatrix kind of annoying. Say I want to allow scripts from ajax.google.com no matter which site i'm on. There's no button for this. Super fucking annoying desu.

>says the guy that can't write a fucking proof but is an expert at if/and statements and other cs101 bullshit

>all lowercase
>... .... .... ...
If you don't like it, just don't fucking use it. Nobody has forced you to use it, right?

There's an option in the settings, faggot. I haven't even used uMa that much and I know this.

>"normies"
Why the fuck are you people using this shitty word? Normalfag is good enough.

>There's an option in the settings, faggot. I haven't even used uMa that much and I know this.
You mean going and writing in a rule whitelisting it?
That's a huge pain in the ass bruh

how the hell am i supposed to order a folding table or a skirt and thigh highs and have it delivered in 4 hours without using amazon.com

Whitelist said website?

No script is now considered harmful

>Say I want to allow scripts from ajax.google.com no matter which site i'm on. There's no button for this. Super fucking annoying desu.
Yes there is, just because you're fucking retarded doesn't mean it isn't possible.

Amazon.com has precisely two scripts to white-list. I am pretty sure you can figure it out. See:

There's essentially no difference between proving mathematical theorems and programming.

???
Works on my machine.

>Yes there is, just because you're fucking retarded doesn't mean it isn't possible.
Screencap it fgt

>bruh
No, there's a dashboard you can pull up from the icon so you can do this all with a shiny GUI you unironic CIA nigger shitstain

thanks, yeah i havent used noscript in years but im considering getting back into it

wew turns out i am retarded nvm

ITT: A simple NoScript question unexpectedly triggers hundreds of people

16, looking at the page stats, and not too many people were triggered.

The icon dashboard as a dropdown menu at the top left to choose what “source domain” you want to change the rules for

For example for this thread I see ‘*’, ‘Sup Forums.org’ and ‘boards.Sup Forums.org’ as options.

Depending on which setting I have, the rule changes I make to the matrix will affect any site, just Sup Forums.org or just boards.Sup Forums.org

Maybe you don't understand 2016/2017 Sup Forums.
>If you reply, you're triggered
>If you read the thread, you're triggered
>If you ignore the thread, you're triggered
You're fucking triggered, son.

Btw, you can essentially use this to easily control the defaults, e.g. allowing 1st-party images and css for *, which is what I do. (Because 1st-party images and css aren't doing any damage that hasn't already been done)

>trigger trigger triggered
thanks, triggered. please put a trigger warning on your shit posts next time

Oh. Ok.

Yeah I found it. Thanks for pointing that out.
>wtf i love umatrix now

Yeah, so why don't you learn how to fucking do it???

Yeah, then learn how to do it.

Shit Sup Forums doesn't do:
ocaml
coq
idris

shit Sup Forums pretends it knows how to do:
haskell
clojure
scala

shit Sup Forums has no fucking clue how to do:
proofs

I'm a Haskell expert and know both Idris and Agda. I haven't worked with Coq, but I have a good understanding of its basic principles.

So why don't you off yourself.

>I have a good understanding of its basic principles.

I honestly don't understand why people on this board post useless shit like this. What's the point? Does it make you feel better? Do you think it's funny?

Genuinely curious.

I helped write Quipper. Suck my fucking cock

Well, I'm drunk as fuck and I posted some shit about how nobody here really has a clue about type theory. Then, some other guy was like, nuh uh, I'm like a fucking haskell expert and I know idris and agda. Then a third party posted this picture, which chuckled me. So dude number two brought a chuckle to drunk guy number one, you're someone else, but really life is subjective, right? Meanwhile nobody here knows a fucking thing about atelier b.

if you want to get technical about it, you can call me drunk dude #2.

was the pic perfect? no. did it get the point across that measuring e-peen will not be rewarded? i think we both know the answer to that.

nice meme

what I mean is that I understand the calculus of constructions upon which coq is based, and I've read a few introductory coq books, but I've never actually used it

>Well, I'm drunk as fuck and I posted some shit about how nobody here really has a clue about type theory.
Pet theory: The only reason Sup Forums seems to be full of clueless morons is because everybody assumes Sup Forums is full of clueless morons, which both

(a) brings in clueless morons who think they're in good company
(b) drives out people with actual knowledge who are tired of being associated with clueless morons all the time
(c) makes people who actually know what they're saying shitpost and pretend they're clueless morons for giggles because they think it's the norm

>(a) brings in clueless morons who think they're in good company
>(b) drives out people with actual knowledge who are tired of being associated with clueless morons all the time

i bet you wish you could sticky on Sup Forums and it just kills you that you lack the power to do so.

No, I believe that stickies are a waste of space because nobody reads them anyway. All it does is reduce the number of threads I can see on the index by one

I'm using noscript+request policy
does umatrix replace both or NS+RP are better?

>both
>a, b, c
fucking up your tuples, dude

c is sorta spot on though but like that's been Sup Forums for the past ten years

I replaced NoScript+RequestPolicy+Self-destructive Cookies by uMatrix

by = with?

fuck off chink / autist

Seriously is there a little guide out there like Sup Forums sticky for NoScript?


Some basic stuff to get people started, I remember trying using it couple years ago and it was frustrating condiguring it for every website individually.

>forbid
>forbid
>forbid WebGL

do I need any of these?

>Seriously is there a little guide out there like Sup Forums sticky for NoScript?

i wish. but Sup Forums is too smug to help

>Does every single person using it spend hours upon hours configuring it to not fuck up their favorite sites?

Yes. And no it's not worth it.

that's what i figured. i mean you just end up manually enabling everything that was enabled by default without noscript

nah, it's more like 30-60 seconds per website

and a surprising amount of the web works fine with everything or almost everything disabled. Well, assuming you want to read things and not watch some retard on twitch whine about how you need to give him money on patreon, at least.

just don't try to do any shopping online

all three

>wow it's so hard to click a bunch of boxes
go read the manual, adhd ridden mong

I shop and bank online with uMatrix enabled.
>allow site to run scripts
>allow anything that looks like a CDN or a financial institution to run scripts
>leave the usual advertising garbage blocked
Some places need cross-site requests enabled. which is rather bad practice on their part, but easy to allow only for that instance with uMatrix.

set it up once and its done. Besides you don't buy anything from anywhere that isn't Amazon or Newegg anyway, do you user? Don't lie.

I used it for a year or two and there's actually a lot that went disabled. It's just that I eventually concluded that NoScript is complete overkill for security and privacy with normal browsing. There's already so few exploits you have to worry about that's even further reduced by blocking ads. If you have a permanent whitelist and one of the sites you whitelisted gets hacked then you're fucked regardless.

Simply not worth the effort.

Also the developer is shady and unethical himself. NoScript's website advertisements are hand-picked snakeoil that make it difficult to stay blocked by adblocker lists. Also in the past he had his addon add his own websites to the ABP whitelist.

most recent shopping sites:

1. Kmart
2. Sears
3. Amazon
4. Walmart
5. Staples

And I use befrugal/ebates to get cash back on these sites. Also use Slickdeals to find good deals.

>shopping on sites that collect sales taxes
why

so its best to just have abp installed with my custom whitelist?

If by ABP you mean µBlock Origin then yes.

>ABP
that's not how you spell uBlock Origin

If you're using noscript, get rid of it. If you're using umatrix, consider using the umatrix-lite built into ublock unless you really need extreme granular control. Pic related.

>options
>allow all sites opened through bookmarks
>done

This assuming you don't bookmark shit sites, faggot.

does Sup Forums have ublock shills or is it legit better?

oh, i bookmark some shit sites.

a.) UBO is faster and uses less memory
b.) The company that makes ABP accepts money to whitelist ads, and turns that whitelist on by default. UBO doesn't have this conflict of interest.

I say that's "legit better"

It uses considerably less CPU and memory resources while having more features and no acceptable ads scheme. So yes I'd say it is legit better.

Hey go to another thread to earn your rupees. I'm shilling here.

What is wrong with umatrix?

>gstatic
>Google apis
>enabled
Kys

You don't know true autism until you have that enabled and request policy

I used to have NoScript, RequestPolicy and a cookie controller addon. I had nothing to do in my life except make browsing websites more interesting.

Necessary for the full experience on news.google.com.

Only reason why noscript is still used is because tor browser uses it. Anyone else migrated to umatrix because it's better in every way.

>using Google
>at all
Jesus christ.

Even fucking snowden uses noscript, that shows how much of a mong he is.
Doubt Tor browser will change anytime soon.

>Even fucking snowden uses noscript, that shows how much of a mong he is
