Hey everyone,
I have been using NoScript for a while and am very pleased with it. However, I also take time supporting a number of people who are not so computer friendly and NoScript has sometimes proved challenging.
Allowing top-level websites by default solves most common issues. However, online payment remains a big stumbling block, as websites always need to call on third-party services, which are blocked by default. Allowing the ones you encounter makes it easier in the future but it remains a one-at-a-time approach which leads to a lot of pain and blocked connections along the way.
Since financial payment companies are official and registered businesses, it would seem fairly easy to establish a safe list of trusted services that can be allowed as an option. This seems like a rather safe option and it would go a long way in making online payments easier, without having to reload pages and needlessly re-enter payment details.
What do you all think?
Best,
Plop
