Using NoScript with Firefox

Given the recent announcement about the ability to scan and penetrate networks using javascript code, I thought I would upload a video showing how to install and use NoScript with Firefox. You can download NoScript at www.noscript.net. Don't forget to donate. Thanks to Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte for their excellent podcast, Security Now!

Is this better than adblockplus I don't get this can someone explain in simple terms what this does any help would be great cheers

@nicko198718 this disallows javascript on websites unless you explicitly allow it. It doesn't just block ads.

So the retards won't get keyloggers.

lol ironically noscript actually blocks this vid and youtube

The title should be something like "NoScript for dummies". I expected an explaination of non self-explenatory things, like what each option does and things like this. Instead I get a guide of how to click a fuckin' install button.

The icon is gay and you are a piece of shit.

[JanusHoW]

@bao20 That it does, by default, anyway. But all you need to do is to whitelist youtube.com and ytimg.com.

zoom out, would ya?

I have wot addon, adblock addon, and noscript addon. all of them keep my Firefox browser safe.

It's too much work; the amount of times I get hit with click jackers or multiple pop-ups is less hassle than manually updating a white list constantly. What would be better is a mix of stumbleupon and mailwasher, the noscript guys collate negative clicks from signed-in users, (avoids false positives) or a short Ffox history if its a bad attack, run it through some statistical app and THEY build the white list. Why re-invent the wheel?

Many sites use Javascript for ads and all sorts of other useless crap that you don't need or want. Try this;

Go to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) and look up a movie that's sure to get a lot of matches, like Dracula. Click 5-6 of the titles so that they all open in new tabs at the same time. Watch Firefox go off into limbo for several seconds at a time.

Next, turn off Javascript and try the exact same thing. The pages will load MUCH faster. JS/Flash is NOT needed for any part of the IMDB.

Gotta try that out. I hate when websites are doing shit with javascript.
