no script add-on


Hello I want to know your opinion about no script add-on. I have read that it really makes firefox much safer, it seems really nice and flexible but I have used it for a few weeks only. Thanks.

I've pruned this from the Mozilla Firefox Vulns thread, as it's a topic all its own.

I think it's a really neat add-on. I use it all the time and have been very happy with it. When used appropriately, it definitely does protect you from certain attacks, no doubt about that. Sometimes I do wish there was a light version of it, without all the configuration options. Like, something which non-technical users might feel more comfortable with. But all in all, it's a great extension IMHO.

I agree. Running FF without it (or using a browser with the same capabilities w/o using "safer" settings) is not a good thing in this day and age.
