NoScript Anywhere In Development For Android
CaffeineAddiction writes "NoScript Anywhere (NSA) is the nickname for the next major iteration of the NoScript security add-on (NoScript 3), whose guts are being turned upside down in order to match Mozilla's Electrolysis multiprocessing architecture and implement a porting for Firefox 4 Mobile, available on Android and Maemo smartphones and tablets."
Might want to choose a different name.
Why can't Opera get into any of this? And none of the cheap hacks: Opera needs to get on the bandwaggon, maybe with a cross-over tool so it can use Firefox Add-ons because everything in the Opera community just has a "cheapened" feeling to it when someone makes something they say has equivalent function of a Firefox plugin or Add-on.
NoScript is probably the most useful thing on my computer aside from the browser itself. And without it, I'd think the internet and by extension the browser were awful, so the probability is approaching unity.
Time to donate to the cause.
In my experience, mobile Firefox is beautiful in its replete feature set, but I find it deplorably slow—much like how Firefox 3.x was on the desktop. I haven't played around much with add-ons for fear of even longer browser startup times on my phone. NoScript is a wonderful project, but I'd like to see a lot more speed improvement on mobile Firefox before I go signing up.
I nice feature in NS would be to have site-specific permissions for individual sites. For example, deny googleapis globally but allow js from googleapis when at
Turning guts upside-down (instead of inside-out) comes with lots of philosophical implications stemming from the switcheroo of the endian orifices, amongst those: a different perspective for the phrase 'kiss my a$$', how you are supposed to eat in public, where you will stick the straw, and don't even let me get started in burps vs. farts...
there's nothing else about anything else at all going on that's interesting, or to be happy about? terror day parades. unproven denials of undenials of counteroffer terroristic & weatheristic domestic terrorisms? conversely; droids in drones delivering the citizens' fake terror tolerance stipends of .5 million dollars each next week? that's not news/stuff that really matters? well mynutswon then. on to salutatory saturday, babylon etc.. thanks again for the superhuman efforts we've seen put forth towards the world wide disarmament, & self-appointed chosen one ruler evictions/relocations/cagings etc..., seems as, even though unprecedented evile clearly never sleeps, it still has no ability to co-exist in the presence of the truth.
STILL no post about how [x] is so much better than NoScript? Slashdot, I'm impressed!
Grammar nazis are to this community what excrements are to gold.
...since the devs have decided not to enable use of Adobe Flash -- which we all know is far too widespread to avoid using -- and instead are focusing their energy on telling everybody why they don't need it. After the first dozen or so of my regularly visited sites proved not to be usable due to this, I uninstalled it and went with Dolphin HD instead. It's not perfect -- Google Reader is barely usable -- but it's a hell of a lot better than either Firefox Mobile, Opera Mini / Mobile, and Google's stock Android browser.
I agree that FF mobile is slow to load. The only reason that I keep it around is that some sites don't display correctly on other browsers. I also like to be able to spoof the user agent so that I can see the full site.
"Implement a porting?"
Sheesh.
Am I the only one who thinks NoScript is the most overrated and inconvenient Firefox extension in common use? It basically breaks every new website you visit, and then figuring out the minimal set of domains on which to enable JavaScript can be a very complicated problem.
I love Noscript, I don't like the developer. Because of this I've dropped Noscript from my extensions long ago. It seems everyone soon forgets about a developer who thinks he can mess with your other extensions without your permission. http://adblockplus.org/blog/attention-noscript-users
So NoScript author is forgiven now?
If only I could export it and then import it to a firewall... Adblock Plus too.
These add-ons for Opera don't behave like they do in Firefox.
And where is the equivalent of VideoDownload Helper for Opera, do you know of any?
Opera is the fastest and most resource-efficient browser that I know of, and it has a great compile base for either Static or Dynamic executables on variouis *nix environments, and even goes back to Windows 98 as far as Microsoft operating systems are concerned.
privoxy the requests can be a more central approach to filter commercials. i am surprised: this long we see tablets but still no ad filter has been established
