Yes

Not necessarily. Script blocking blocks only active content, and only by the domain it comes from. ABE can block any type of request, based also on what made the request, and can even do full paths if you want/need.

Is it really true to say that ABE is strictly independent of script blocking - or vise versa? Given all of what's just been posted in this thread so far, would it be more correct to say that blocking in one makes the other one redundant for a given address?

Now I ask this not to be "smart", but rather to clarify things (for myself at least).

Thank, barbaz!

I ran another test to confirm what you noted about their independence. Office365.com script is needed to in order to sign in on outlook.com . I allowed it in the whitelist for NoScript but denied it via ABE.

Went to outlook.com and even though it said "forbid 365.com", the sign in page was not loading.

NoScript script blocking is independent of ABE. ABE is independent of script blocking. They are two separate things that each have their own sets of permissions.

So it's showing that way only because the script is allowed in script blocking.

When looking at Xbox.com or outlook.com, the option to "Forbid optimizely.com" from running is shown, instead of the default "temporarily allow optimizely.com" that would be shown if it weren't whitelisted.

How are you determining this?

Hi there,
I'm testing out ABE but can't seem to get it to work. I'm trying one of the examples form FAQ 8.10

Scenario: I want the optimizely.com script to run on microsoft.com, but on no other websites. I'm testing the rule by looking at xbox.com and outlook.com, which both would normally run optimizely.com

I've allowed optimizely.com in the Whiteliest, which then allows it to run across all three sites.

The rule I wrote in Advanced for USER is:

Code: Select all

# Testing optimizely.com
Site .optimizely.com 
Accept from .microsoft.com 
Deny
However, it appears that optimizely.com still runs across all three websites, instead of just microsoft.com

What am I missing?
