NoScript Anywhere In Development For Android

Posted by Soulskill on from the now-if-only-it-worked-on-my-tv dept.

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."

    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.

      Don't forget the shady stuff the maker of NoScript tried just 2 years ago. He silently killed part of AdBlock on comuters it was installed on, and obfuscated what he was doing. The shit really hit the fan before he started backpedaling and reversed his position. I don't trust the guy.
